On the bright side, everyone can make their own small contribution to make a difference. For example, for people living in a migration corridor, turn off outdoor lighting when not needed to help birds succeed in their migration and to reduce energy waste:

Find something in your area and start making noise about it. Plenty of people care enough to try.

PS - Reducing light pollution will also help fireflies and help preserve night skies. And that's another tool to use: align people with different interests behind common actions, and it benefits everyone.
