Light Pollution
Light pollution affects us all; you don't need to be an astronomer to appreciate the beauty of the night sky. It also represents a waste of energy and money, especially using badly designed and installed domestic floodlights. Furthermore, lights shining into other people's windows may constitute a statutory nuisance.
"The night sky is part of our human inheritance. We are poorer without it." - Libby Purves
Light pollution..."It's looking down instead of up. It's 2 thirds of the global population, 5 billion people, unable to truly see the night sky. It's the indifferent blinking out of 200 billion stars."
