Glen is right, of course. And the same problem may be found around any suburban sprawl anywhere. The opportunity does exist, though, to identify dark sky park areas away from the population centres. From the selfish perspective of astronomers, that is our “last frontier”. Once we lose it, it is effectively gone for good. So while I laud anything being done to promote the message about light pollution in a general way, I do believe we are flogging a dead horse in those areas already gone over to the forces of lightness.
