Comments on: Bright Lights, Little City - are we burning up the night sky? http://taoofchange.com/2009/04/06/bright-lights-little-city-are-we-burning-up-the-night-sky/ Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:26:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1-alpha By: tao http://taoofchange.com/2009/04/06/bright-lights-little-city-are-we-burning-up-the-night-sky/#comment-1683 tao Tue, 07 Apr 2009 14:21:02 +0000 http://taoofchange.com/?p=594#comment-1683 Thanks for the comments, Roger. Check out the links in the post for answers to more effective and less wasteful security lighting for public and private areas. There are alternatives when it comes to safety...just like there are alternatives to most of our wasteful ways - we just have to be willing to break the status quo and change in old habits for new ones! I'll take all the visitors I can get this Summer. More soon! Tao Thanks for the comments, Roger.

Trace. Yes, I see this effect here in Greensboro. Where I live, right at downtown, we are immersed street lights, and light on in the tall-ish buildings of downtown, right out my back window. The sky is obliterated. We go 10 miles north to in-laws house, and the stars are revealed. Some say the lights are necessary for "security." And I guess all the janitorial people are hard at work at night. Still the night photos are startling. Would love to visit your living situation this summer. Make a date. peace and hugs, Roger Hartsell Hi. Trace.
