"Light pollution is a severely underestimated threat, but also the easiest type of pollution to fix once we make our communities aware of it."

- Ricardo J. Tohmé, Fundación Cielo Sustentable, International Dark-Sky Association

"80% of the population have never seen the Milky Way and the number is growing. You don't know all the things you are missing."

- Alan Rifkin, Electric Telescope Tours

"Future will have the face of what are you doing now"

- José Ángel Mora Robles, CENTRO ASTRONÓMICO CARONTE

"Storytelling is important. However, we must not allow that our children will hear about the stars only from fairy tales."

- Jaroslav Merc, Slovak Astronomical Society

- Marnie Ogg, Australasian Dark Sky Alliance
