Graffiti Video Series: Cannonball Concretions
The last location of note for graffiti in Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a place with unique geological features. One special spot in the North Unit has a pull-of with cannonball concretions right by the road side. Sadly, not one of these is free of defacement. If you see something, please say something; call the park rangers with license plate, location, and description of the individual(s). You can help protect your national park!

Iam with you from India we have to stop light pollution iam serious
Beautiful airglow! Haven't been that lucky yet. I did however have way more luck with Aurora:)
Great video!
Love the humor. Good job driving home the message folks.
Don't actually Lower high pressure sodium. And they also have an impact on earth, but I collected the Mabel. She had to have the world
amazing
I wish they put that thing what puts light down here in Finland too. Light pollution sucks
I want to see TRNP new dark sky lights. Show them to us.
7 years ago😵
this is like the most painfully badly scripted video ever but also great
For more light pollution info.. Support us.. Tq.. ua-cam.com/video/GXewQnDEPeQ/v-deo.html
7 years later and they still haven't fixed the lights shown in this video. lol
Cute! Nice video guys :)
'wasted light' --- i didnt know light was a nonrenewable resource or a resource for that matter
Why in the pandemic people just then talked more about it but now less a bit after pandemic Also your underrated you guys are funny lol!
Why is this so funny
U wont believe I am the 301th subscriber...
Aight gonna share this to my people here in philippines so I can see the milky way
An electromagnetic pulse would put an end to this problem very quickly. We can go back to the olden days before electric lights.
Well EMP would not only destroy those lights but also all the other electronics.
zankyo no terror refernce
That music is freaking scary man
This video deserve more views
I'm honestly disappointed how light pollution is overlooked. They need to be addressed too. Solving it is just as important as solving other types of pollution
First step: buy LED light because they’re more direct than mercury, halide, or sodium lights.
That is false since most of the housings of LED lights also shine out and up causing glare and light pollution. If people are going to buy LEDs bulbs for outdoor lighting, make sure they're well shielded and also make sure the bulbs are between a 2000K and 2500K color temperature range. If not, paint the LED bulbs you own with tangerine orange stained glass krylon spraypaint to give them an orange tint.
@@remsencey I would buy the night sky rated luminary. I just would go with at least 4,000K though, but it won’t cause light pollution if the fixture is shielded. I buy shielded fixtures. I hate fixtures that shine upwards. Led street lights can be shielded and shine downwards.
@@remsencey And sometimes I like to use those RGB style LED fixtures and many of them are shielded as well so they won’t have light trespassing and won’t cause light pollution. The bluer color although has more light pollution risks, but it won’t cause light pollution if the fixture is shielded and shines downwards. I always point my flood lights downwards so they don’t go in other people’s yards or cause light pollution. A lot of people just like to use non shielded fixtures and point the light upwards and that is the main cause the issue over the color temperature. I know I am just not a fan of soft white. I like neutral white at 4,000K or color changing LED, but I occasionally do like 2200K only for indoor Edison lighting. So I just buy nighttime sky compliment rated LED fixtures. They are more costly, but they do they job. My whole neighborhood uses 4,000K street lighting that’s all shielded and I can see the nighttime sky more than I used to compared to the high pressure sodium street lighting.
Make those dhades from scrap metal or plastic
I'm in love with that girl ranger
I hope they fix this problem 😩
We can help them by sharing this video to others 😊
Cool
Fantastic. Nice work. Would be nice to have most facilities use down facing lights. Hoping to visit again this summer or fall from WI.
So how does one go about making this happen? Honestly, I just want to be able to see the night sky clearly, and I want others to see it too.
Make awareness in your local area by Talk to your parents > friends > local authority Or Gather some folks who know electrical stuff and add those shields to the lights by yourself or by friends.
You can educate others and suggest solutions that you think is a great idea. I have ideas that replacing street lights with led lights or any alternatives might be better
@@sustainablelife3603yep, thats what I thought too. But after doing my research i found out that LEDs actually scatter that light way worse than any sodium light, and do more harm to our night skies.
By far the best part of my work experiance in N. Dakota in August 2017. My wife and daughter came out from near St Louis, MO and we did a weekend vacation here and I didn't want to leave. It was so peaceful and the abundance of wildlife was incredible. If you're near one of the 3 areas of this park, it is well worth the time to visit!
Tq guy's😇😇😇😇😇😇
Easy fix: start producing clothes that emit light and illuminate your vicinity as you walk. Then we don't need any damn streetlights.
Make law to put mirror above lights so that it can only shine down. Increased efficiency decreased light pollution such a shame the number of people are unaware of what theyre wasting and missing out on :,( Im going to write a letter to trump to set lamp housing efficiency standards, and everyone else should too.
That's amazing man
The idea is also to reduce power consumption. Meaning if lights only point down, they only need half the wattage to provide the same amount of light for the ground. Adding a mirror doesn't accomplish energy savings and LED are bi-directional anyway so it's not needed. That's just a rough figure though. Sadly I see some new super bright white led fixtures in parking lots aimed at 45 degrees angles so even more light is projecting up in the sky. New regulations need put in place for area lighting specifically for businesses or business land since they are the largest contributors to the problem. I do see municipalities taking part in new street lighting though. Once thing I find pretty terrible is that even on a moonless night living in a darker portion of the suburbs I can still see rather well outside during astronomical twilight. Just from ambient light in the sky. And if clouds roll in...It might as well be like indefinite sunset. Makes me wonder what is what like before artificial lighting. Even in very remote areas there is still a level of light pollution from some small town that may be 40 miles away.
Putting a shade on the light cuts pollution but doesn't improve the cost problem - it just converts the light to heat, warming up bird's bellies. You need to use reflectors, and then cut the wattage of the bulbs in half.
puncheex2 yup yup yup. Such a great idea. A tremendous idea. Lets all write letter to president about it
I agree.
or just make bulbs half
Make the inside of the shade a reflective white.
why, of course that follows out of the lamp shade construction!! And lamps dont need to be that bright after all, eyes work better in soft lighting then inn very harsh lights. And at night you dont want harsh lights it messes up your sleeping pattern anyway
Just returned from TRNP, unfortunately drizzly, but still most enjoyable.
"Bison were disappearing due to extreme overhunting." The funniest comment on here. Lol
BAD segue. You're looking for clues in a restored-prop filled- cabin that had NOTHING to do with TR? Then he suddenly, for some reason, shows up in the same cabin that had NOTHING to with him? Who the F**K thought this was a good idea???
Here's how people can help reduce light pollution: www.darksky.org/get-involved/ You can also find eco-friendly lighting here: www.darksky.org/our-work/lighting/lighting-for-industry/fsa/ There are also basic guides for what lighting is best for cities and residences, including outdoor lighting: www.darksky.org/our-work/lighting/lighting-for-citizens/lighting-basics/, as well as a page for just businesses: www.darksky.org/our-work/lighting/residentialbusiness-lighting/. Here is a page on how to identify if your community has a lighting ordinance, if it does, how to enforce it, and if it does not, how to advocate for it: www.darksky.org/our-work/lighting/public-policy/lighting-ordinances/. Here is a way to deal with light trespass and effects by the local government: www.darksky.org/our-work/lighting/lighting-for-citizens/bad-streetlights/ Here are some lighting guidelines and info for policymakers: www.darksky.org/our-work/lighting/public-policy/policy-makers/ And how to help the animals affected: ua-cam.com/video/ooLYWwA43SE/v-deo.html Also a very interesting debunking on why increased street lighting doesn't actually decrease crime: www.darksky.org/light-pollution/lighting-crime-and-safety/ Here's a very interesting page on how much light energy is being wasted: www.darksky.org/light-pollution/energy-waste/ If you're a super sciency person, there's a database for scientific research specifically relating to artificial light here: alandb.darksky.org/ There are apps to help combat overturned circadian rhythms, meaning you can work at night but still not mess up your circadian rhythm: www.darksky.org/light-pollution/human-health/ Finally, these are places where you can visit near you that have good light stewardship (meaning you can actually see the sky): www.darksky.org/our-work/conservation/idsp/ If for an absurdly tiny possibility someone from the government read my comment, this link is how to get certified as a Dark Sky place: www.darksky.org/our-work/conservation/idsp/become-a-dark-sky-place/
1:44 just turned from an info video to scary movie 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would like to ask permission to use this video in a light pollution presentation. I will receive no compensation for the public presentations as I'm working purely on a voluntary basis.
Great video. Crappy comments from degenerates. We can all be more mindful of the issue now that we know when we choose our lighting products.
The sky is fucking yellow cuz of the lightt
Thank you for posting this video. It's so hard to find dark skys
We will be there at the end of this month, 4 to 9 of us, is there a certain place we should go to photograph the night sky?
Cities are the Biggest Problem, they keep skyscrapers lit which is completely unnecessary , we need them for helicopters and planes but some are for decoration its ruining a lot.
Blow them up. Fuck big cities.
We dont have skyscrapers in Finland
Have you fixed your light pollution problem?. Your video was over 2 years ago.
Thank you for posting: TRNP is one of my best visits.
Lets go!
*STFU*
Sanjay .S Kumar ?????
Why would they, its the right thing to do.
HEY!, BUDDY! *Snaps fingers*...........STFU!!!
Most light polluters will never care. They are like loud bikers. They are convinced that bright lights keep negroes from attacking them.
I fucking wanna strangle racist. No joke i wanna give one a black eye for how they treat people of color... They fucking shit allover people because they think they're better than others because of COLOR. A FUCKING COLOR
lel sir lel well, a color is a phenotype. Which suggests there are also unseen genotypes. All races are different yes, but to be prejudice with no valid reason is wrong and dishonorable
Excellent video. Time for an update... It's two years later. How did you do, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, at reducing your light pollution levels?
8 years now, how ya doin person reading this in the future
