Taking the pledge is agreeing to preserve and protect the night sky above your observing site, home, business, school or town. It means taking a stand against the encroachment of the light and bringing us one step closer to regaining our starry night skies -- one place and one star at a time.

Taking the pledge is fast, easy, and free. Just tell us who you are, where you are, and your e-mail address. We'll give you a checklist of simple things you can do to reduce light pollution on any property you manage, and you just check off what you have already done or will do.
