Phuong grew up with a dark sky of sparkling stars, the kind of scenery which has helped her to dream, overcome childhood obstacles, and become a creative thinker. However at present, due to the demands of artificial lights worldwide, light pollution is taking the glittering stars away - the valuable beauty which inspires humankind. In the talk, Phuong calls for the emotions within people’s heart about the importance of stars, encourages them to switch off their lights to “star” up their mind, and to address light pollution.
