We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. Carl Sagan

If you want to get your message across about light pollution to your MP go to  http://www.faxyourmp.co.uk and send a FAX asking what your MP is intending to do about the light pollution issue in your area.  It's always worthwhile pointing out the three aspects of the problem: -

1 – The complete waste of electricity, remember we pay for this in our rates;

2 – The light pollution caused, the effects are well known to any astronomer;

3 – The lack of a central policy regarding the local planning regulations and public lighting.  Ask when is it going to be addressed?

Obviously our priority would probably be 2 -1 -3, but MP's are driven by cash.
