Haven't seen this on here before - but apologies if its a duplication!
There is a petition at [link= http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/starry-night/ ]http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/starry-night/[/link]about light pollution - probably doesn't go anywhere near far enough but its a start!!
RE: Save the night sky petition
No, it's proposal isn't enough.
It would be better to propose (in addition to that) that something like 50% of street lighting is turned off between certain hours of the night where it isn't really needed, like on motorways etc. which would not only cut down on light pollution but also reduce energy usage helping to save the environment. It's not like cars don't have lights of their own.

RE: Save the night sky petition
How very true - I've posted elsewhere about driving past Carcraft (M62) at about 3am and it was lit up brighter than a floodlit football field I was hopping mad!!
