Earth Sun Moon Logo

Earth Sun Moon Trading Company started in the basement of a local record shop in 1996, and today offers a range of nature-inspired designs with a quirky sense of humor.

Your True Nature began creating eco-friendly products and programs in 1993 after founder Ilan Shamir received sage advice from a tree: Stand tall and proud. Remember your roots. Enjoy the view! From there, Ilan and his daughter, Laurel, have worked side by side to help the company branch out and reach new horizons. Their story is rooted in caring for the earth, creating new advice, planting trees, and using heart-tickling inspiration and wisdom to celebrate the beauty of nature and human nature. Your True Nature has been a DarkSky supporter since 2010 and has contributed more than $15,000 to support DarkSky’s night sky protection.


Ally

Deneb designs bespoke journeys and events catering to the global community of conscious explorers looking for deeper knowledge, culture, and purpose. Its portfolio of adventures and calendar of events includes astronomy-centric activities. From the Pacific Ocean to the Americas, the organization crafts programs with and for astronomers, astrophotographers, and other lovers of the mystery and poetry of the night. Deneb was founded in 2019 by the leadership of Atelier LaPaz, a sustainable tourism development company that pioneered heritage conservation tourism in Central America 25 years ago and that has, since its origin, acted for the preservation of our dark skies.

Selux offers an extensive range of architectural light fixtures, including solar-powered and DarkSky-certified luminaires designed to help lighting professionals and architects create interior and exterior spaces in which to live and work. As former Product Manager James Brigagliano explained, “Reducing light pollution through proper optical/luminaire design can be touted as an important non-energy benefit and that’s great. If you look closer, however, there is a very large energy benefit, since any light not working to illuminate the task is wasted energy. After 15+ years of supporting the [DarkSky] initiative, we are glad to see continued interest in this effort by designers, municipalities, and other manufacturers.”
