in the Coesfeld region, especially in the communities of Nottuln, Lüdinghausen and Billerbeck, a special action causes a stir: The Earth Night, an event that not only dimizes in a symbolic way, but also wants to make a sustainable contribution to environmental protection. The announcement to switch off the lights at significant historical sites such as the Vischering Castle and Kolvenburg from 10 p.m.

The thought behind the Earth Night? Simple dark nights are essential for the environment, humans and nature. An example could be the city of Lüdinghausen, which has been taking the light out of everywhere for two years, where it is not necessary for safety. This not only happens to act symbolically on a special day, but also aim to promote a sustainable way of thinking that is also used outside the Earth Night.

sustainable practices in the entire circle

In Ascheberg, a clear point of view is also conveyed. Here the light is not only considered once a year, but the community has decided to dim the brightness of the street lighting after 11 p.m. This form of reduction is part of an entire approach that revolves around responsibility with resources. The nightly lighting of the monuments was also turned away, which not only contributes to saving energy, but also reduces the possible light pollution.

in Dülmen one speaks of a minimum of lighting. The city has already taken many measures to reduce its energy costs. The lighting of the urban buildings was reduced to the most necessary. At the same time, there is a year -round regulation in the municipality of Rosendahl, which states that only as much light is provided as is required for traffic safety. This strategic approach shows that there is a strong awareness of the need for energy saving in the region.

The municipality of Senden has also adapted its lighting settings. Shop windows and public buildings no longer receive any radiation, which not only saves energy, but also contributes to the general reduction in light pollution in urban areas. These initiatives are in an overall picture of responsibility towards the environment and people.

The Earth Night is more than just a one -time event: it is an expression of a mental change towards a sustainable future in which light is regulated not only for humans, but also for nature. By lowering or switching off their lights, they solidarize with the global trend to promote more conscious use of our resources. The long -term vision is clear: a life in harmony with nature that has existed not only now, but also in the coming years.
