*[Enwl-eng] Migratory birds keep dying in this city, and it's preventable

[enwl]

                        One building is killing thousands per day.









                        Over 1,000 Birds Died From One Chicago Building in a 
Single Day

                        The midwest United States experiences some of the 
most spectacular fall migration, making it a treat for birders, who get to 
see beautiful non-native species passing through. But birds that are 
migrating face one giant obstacle: Chicago. The Windy City is a death 
sentence for an estimated tens of thousands of migratory birds every single 
year. This year has been particularly gruesome. In a single day, volunteers 
found over 1,000 birds dead outside of one single building -- the giant 
McCormick Place.



                        Sign now to tell the Chicago City Council: protect 
migratory birds! Require buildings to turn off their lights during migration 
season!



                        The most frustrating part of this is that there is a 
very simple solution to this problem: require all buildings to turn off 
their lights at night. Light confuses migrating birds, given that they 
typically use the stars as a guide to get to their destination. Chicago 
produces more light pollution than any other city in the country. So why 
hasn't the Chicago City Council adopted a measure that would single-handedly 
protect the lives of thousands of birds each year? Let's put pressure on the 
Chicago City Council to do the right thing to protect migratory birds and 
require all buildings to turn off their lights at night! Sign the petition 
now!




                 Thank you,

                        Jess
