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.
I love this cartoon so much Marti – there are few things better than an outback country sky. Yay to us all being World Record Holders and thanks so much for supporting ADSA 🙂
Hi Jen, thanks for that. I too love the night sky and really looking forward to a country camping holiday. Yes, really excited about being a Guinness book record holder too.
