Leaflet needed

I like the idea Paul, but for 2 hours after sunset? The first hour after sunset it's still light anyway, and I'd guess that most of us don't get our scopes out until after 10pm.
Streetlights and lights in and around government buildings would be a small start, then maybe legislation for businesses to turn their lights off, and after that, legislation (with penalty of hanging from the harbour bridge by the nuts) for private residences with too much lighting. I find it amazing when walking/riding/driving around at night just how many houses have incredible amounts of superfluous lighting. There's a new development at St Ives in which every post along the considerable front fence has about 200w of lighting on top! Amazing in this day and age.

What we need is a well worded and illustrated leaflet that we can all print out and letterbox drop in our neighbourhoods. Anyone have one we can start with?

Cheers,
Jason.
