Petition to regulate light pollution

[billyharris72]

Just noticed this on the Government's petitions website. Not exactly setting the internet alight, but put my signature down there anyway. Thought others might be interested.

Cheers,

Billy.

Signed.

FWIW. Not much I should think, but then I'm a natural pessimist.

Surely there's not a member of SGL that doesn't want to sign this?  If it's to have any chance needs to get into the media somehow.

Signed.

Anybody made CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England/Council for Protection of Rural England ) http://www.cpre.org.uk/magazine/opinion/item/3737-campaigning-for-a-starry-starry-night as they have also been working to reduce light pollution (local conferences, inviting Parish Councils, etc.).

Wildlife organisations as well (given the impact bad lighting can have on wildlife e.g. how will a male glowworm find a female when there is so much artificial lighting about making the females all but invisible, etc., etc.).

If 1/5 of SGL signed this we'd get a response from the government

 

[ringz]

I voted but I'm as cynical as the rest  

[Hertford Stargazer]

I think I was 77 

 

[Stub Mandrel]

78.

C'mon folks, SGL alone can do this!

I've blogged a link. Anything that might help.

[Physopto]

Is it possible to get this in bright lights on the top of SGL website?

 

Come on MODs it is in everyone's best interests!

 

If SGL can advertise Star Camps up front surely this should be just if not more important!

 

[Saganite]

80 & 81 for my wife and I.

I agree ,SGL really could do it alone Neil, ; lets hope we do

[Putaendo Patrick]

I'm in at number 82

Hope it results!

Don't forget that another way to fight light pollution is to support the BAA's Commission for dark Skies: http://britastro.org/dark-skies/
