Turn Out the Lights!!!!
In the Thread entitled "Upside to the economic turndown" a few comments have been made about turning off the lights in buildings to conserve energy and to save money. I thought that since the topic came up I would bring to light (no pun intended) an organisation that is dedicated to making the world dark. They are not only campaigning to turn out the lights to conserve energy but they are doing it to re-integrate the world of darkness into our lives. Medical science has shown that the human body needs darkness to refresh. The international Dark-Sky Association is dedicated to reversing the harmful effects of light on our environment and our bodies and is working in various countries to pass legislation to regulate light emissions during dark hours. Go to http://www.darksky.org/mc/page.do?siteP ... orgId=idsa to find out more information. Join the effort and turn out the lights.
Start a group in your neighborhoods and turn out porch lights at 9pm ask you local lawmakers to have street lights turned out at 11pm and notice the difference in the sky and your body.
