![]() I have just received my second newsletter from the International Dark-Sky Association and I very much recommend it to any of you who have the same concerns. When I look at the new lighting on the renovated liquor store on University Avenue or the street lighting on my very own street it occurs to me that this Association needs a PEI branch. "For most people on earth, the dark skies our ancestors had have disappeared ... the problem is urban glow, due mostly to too much bad lighting" This is a organization that concerns themselves with " trashy looking, confusing nighttime environment". Some of us have had the joy of sky watching in a dark country setting and it is breath- taking - and spiritual. Lets shine the light down where it is needed and get rid of bad light design - save money and see more sky. You, too can become a member by sending $30.00 to IDA, 3225 North First Avenue, Tucson, Az. 85719-2103 or just simply check their web site at www.darksky.org. Once you start thinking about this issue it begins to hit you and you can't let go. ![]() ![]() Written Tuesday, April 04, 2000 at 10:08 PM ![]() ![]() |
