Back on 21 June 2020 (shortest day in the southern hemisphere) I participated in a new Guinness world record attempt for the ‘most number of people participating in an online sustainability lesson’…And guess what? We succeeded!
I can now claim to be a Guinness world record holder – I thought I might add it to my CV 🙂
The 30 minute lesson was on light pollution and ended by participants recording the number of stars to be seen in the night sky to help in the ongoing collection of light pollution data across the globe. If you want to find out more, visit the Australasian Dark Sky Alliance, the not for profit charity which ran the event and initially formed to educate the public and policymakers about night environment conservation.
