But when it comes to observing the night sky, light is actually a kind of pollution. Light pollution is pollution caused by poorly placed artificial light. This is a rapidly growing environmental problem. In the urban landscape we live in, light pollution can impact the visual environment, affect human health, waste energy and lead to undesirable economic consequences. There are a lot of billboards on the street. For example, uncontrolled LED advertising sign, landing light boxes bring occupation of urban roads and landing light boxes advertising special treatment. Although some light is inevitably reflected upwards from illuminated surfaces, much of it spills outside the area it is intended to illuminate, creating glare, light trespass, and a glow in the sky . Theoretical Framework According to Bonsiepe G (2006), he argues that globalization also produces an increase in the environment. degradation due to the overproduction of capitalism. The expansionist dynamic of capitalism views resources as always abundant, even inexhaustible, and views pollution as an unimportant byproduct. He explains that design is the cause of such products contributing to this so-called light pollution. It is obvious that he is trying to make us understand, through his ideals, that for our environment to change it will take more changes from society to slowly prevent the further use of by-products, reducing thus the use of resources contributing to pollution.
