Light Pollution At the beginning of the 21st century, humanity is losing a valuable and beautiful part of its heritage. For the first time in history, poorly designed and badly aimed lighting is denying vast numbers of humanity a view of the night sky. Urban sky glow now pollutes nearly all of Britain's night skies. As amateur astronomers we have a responsibility to guard our night time environment against light pollution.

Campaign for Dark Skies

I'm surprised that group does not get more support. They are asking, in an offhand way, for people to quit wasting so much energy.

denying vast numbers of humanity a view of the night sky

They could always move to the PRK.

I am NOT a liberal, I'm a conservative, but I'm also an astronomer, we need dark skies, and lights ought to be aimed DOWN, now OUT at night, so the more lights they shut off in cities, the happier I'll be about it. So, I can agree with dark skies. If people want to light up their front porches at night, they ought light up their front porches, but not MY front porch.
