Pittsburgh

Help protect birds during their migratory journey this fall!

March 15 – May 31
Midnight – 6 am

Save Birds

About 100,000 birds pass over the Pittsburgh region each year during migration! Bright lighting at night can disorient a bird’s natural sense of navigation, drawing the bird toward the light and often causing window collisions. By turning off lights during peak migration seasons, you can help save birds.

Save Money

You can reduce your energy costs by reducing your energy consumption. The simple act of turning out lights can make a big difference.

Reduce Carbon Emissions
