Hi Malcolm.
Well done Stuart
Unless we get our fingers out, and switch our minds from negative to positive, how can anything ever happen concerning obtrusive outdoor lighting?
I met the anti-smoke campaigner about ten years ago. And then, it had taken him twenty years to get to that stage. It will take a long time to get somewhere, is that a reason to give up? Start sending out the form letter, alter it to suit, but not the beginning relating to SOLIS. Send out a letter often as you can,as I have said, the more complaints councils get each year the sooner they have to act on this, to us, important matter. The SOLIS committee members are not sitting on their bums, each of us are doing what we are capable off, in the time we have to spare.
For instance, twice I have driven to Bulli Tops, at my own expense, with a lighting designer, helping Christian, an amateur astronomer from Thirroul, combat massive over-lighting from the newly built Southern Gateway Centre built by Wollongong Council at a cost of $11000000. I have a 10 mm thick folder containing corresspondence relating the the complex.
We have two new weapons at our disposal namely. The two articles are:
Night shifts spark cancer pay-out, from Denmark, and US Physicians join light pollution fight.
