Hey Philly

Great to put it on there as more people are signing up. Yes, I know it may not "work" but if you keep knocking on a door then eventually someone will answer !

Thanks for the post

Slightly off topic... but powys have had 3000 complaints and a handful of supportive contacts since the switch off so are going round switching lights back on more lights will be on but some will still be off between 00:30 and 05:30

Interesting article on the BBC : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6440751.stm

might write to my local district council and say "Oi, fools, listen up!"..............well maybe not in that way, but clearly lay down my message.

They don't seem to realise that energy wasted on lighting is energy wasted altogether, only 5% of our leccy is from renewables and they're going to reduce CO2 by 80% for 2050....yeh right, a third runway along with the governments target of 40% new housing for rural areas will really help...fools!

Signed! The best hope of getting anything done is to stress the green angle, that's the topic that seems to make the government and local authorities take notice.

Why don't you send the link to FAS, SPA, SAGAS, etc - they can get the word to the clubs out there....

Cheers,

Yep!

Is this petition going around all the forums of astronomy and science magazines, i.e. Sky @Night, Sky and Telescope, Astronomy Now (if they do have a forum, not sure...), etc etc? It's worth asking their editors and website masters.
