As a group we can and should support dark sky which I'm sure we all do.
In a way we can be pro-active instead of reactive to an issue that affects us all.
Maybe this forum should create a petition which could be passed on too pollies with the words
"We will not vote for you again unless you do something to address this issue......."
I'm still waiting on a response from the PM (email sent 6 months ago) regarding the amount of greenhouse gases produced by street lights burning all night.
Recently I asked out council to have the street lights turned off after 12 which they can do via the state energy supplier.
this is what I got back
"For community safety and for motorists and pedestrians Council will not alter the operational hours of the streetlight.
Council may, if it is possible consider shading the back of the streetlight but that will have to be further investigated. If it is possible Council may require a letter for your neighbour to shading the light."
