[yeletah]

Would anyone like to sign any of these petitions?

is a it bit of a long shot, I think light pollution is getting worse.

(only way to reduce it is to keep high lighting it)

Signed - wouldn't like to forecast the odds that that one hour will be when Cloud-Central decides to hold a hog roast?

I have signed the government one. The other petition claims a link between LP and breast cancer, some studies have been done on this  in the USA, but have not received wide acceptance in the scientific community.  

[ghostdance]

Government one too, & think I'l stick with that...didn't even notice the other link, which says something about the state of my eyes. No wonder I can't see nuffink!

Light pollution is now rated in the same category as passive smoking. plus the damage it causes the wildlife. I used to push my son to sleep on tee local streets after 9pm.... I could count the people I came across on the fingers of one mitten... Giving everyone a reflective jacket and a torch would probably be cheaper than providing light to help the local fixes from getting lost. I have used blackout curtains for years to make it properly dark.

Thanks for signing. everyone who likes stars should keep trying.

In my area more and more people are lighting up their entire back gardens as the technology now exists and is cheap to buy and i think in the cases of LED lights cheap ti run.

one neighbours garden is like car park lighting - for the entire night and the entire year, last 4 years.

Solihull council say hes afraid of burglars! and thought the light pollution not an issue, close my curtains!

with this mindset, its going to get worse.

I'm wondering is it a form of "territory gain" - using light?

Current light pollution legislation is now 10 years old, time for a review due to advances in technology .
