I've just written to the Federal Minister for the Environment, suggesting a National Outdoor lighting policy.
Researching the figures was interesting. Use of LPS and shielded lights nationally could save 80 million Kg of greenhouse gases a year.
National energy costs have the potential to be lowered by $10 million a year.
We'll never win dark skies by saying we like Astronomy, but given the numbers above, most MP's could be compelled to make the effort to re-lamp the country.
All it takes is a few letters to MP's and media editors
Anyone with me on this?
Cheers
Peter
