This isn't a horror movie set. It's a road in Denmark. The streetlights are red to save the bats. Bats can't see red light the way they see white or green light, so to them, it's essentially darkness. White streetlights are one of the leading causes of bat decline in urban areas. Light-shy species avoid lit areas entirely, cutting them off from feeding grounds and migration routes. Standard streetlights reduce bat activity by up to 90% in some species. Denmark figured out a fix. So did the Netherlands. When they installed red LED streetlights along roads near bat colonies, bat activity returned to normal levels almost immediately. The lights still work fine for humans. Drivers can see. Cyclists can navigate. The only thing that changed is that the bats got their night back. Do you want your city to do this?

They didn't wait for the government. They didn't wait for anyone. 🍺🇬🇧 Centuries before the NHS, ordinary British working people built their own system. In secret. In pubs. Every week they pooled their pennies. If you fell ill, they paid your rent. 🏠 If you died, they buried you. ⚰️ If your family starved, they fed them. 🍞 No government. No institution. Just British working people looking after each other. By 1800. Four million members. 🇬🇧 They called them Friendly Societies. The NHS. The trade unions. The co-operative movement. All of them started the same way. In rooms like this. With people like these. And almost nobody knows this happened. Britain lost its story. We're taking it back. Story by story. Name by name. Nobody is coming to do this for us. If you want to be part of making sure this country remembers who it is: proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧
