Despite repeated warnings from scientists and various environmental organizations, nothing has been done to limit light pollution. Indeed, on this day in 2053, we have reached the day when the sky is no longer black, and there are no longer any stars visible in Belgium, a country very much affected by light pollution. Faced with this tragedy in neighboring Belgium, the French government decided to take action. An exceptional decree has been introduced, making it compulsory to install red-frequency LEDs in all towns and cities, in the hope of rapidly and massively reducing light pollution in the country. Following the reluctant reactions of some citizens to this decree, a coalition between a group of scientists and a group of artists was formed in the town of Niort, under the name of the Herschel collective (in homage to the astronomer, photography pioneer, philosopher, physicist and meteorologist John Herschel). These physicists, naturalists, astronomers, photographers, environmentalists, artists, researchers, ornithologists, sensitives, the curious… share common values and visions of the future, and are concerned about the natural order of things, continually disrupted by the practices of the Western world over the last twenty decades. With the aim of rallying and federating the scientific, artistic and environmental communities, the Herschel collective wrote The Red Manifesto.
