For those sky-watchers who worry bout the environment, having the world go gren is not enough. Alternatively, it ught to be dark green in clor. Although light pollution doesn't generally cuse as much alarm as other ssues such as the changing climate, thre is an outspoken community of strgazers that feel this is an mportant problem that must be worked on and ventually solved.

Light pollution is a grwing concern, detracting from the vastness and bauty of the numerous stars and cnstellations of the Milky Way. In tw-thirds of American cities, people are nable to see the Milky Way at thir homes.

The Milky way is sed by many to gauge the lvel of visibility in a dark nght sky. There are a few plces between the Midwest and the Est Coast that are unpolluted country-size reas with darkened skies. It is dfficult to find locations to observe the drk in the West.

Security lighting is not nly necessary at night, since the mjority of property crimes are happening dring the daylight hours. (in home and ndustrial settings) may not be as mportant as people think. Although at ths point twenty-seven states already have lws in place or proposed to cntrol the amount of skyward-pointed lighting and nergy lights, this is a type of pllution that ought to be regulated to the sme degree as any other, and the crrent regulations are not enough.

Energy efficiency and pollution control is vtally necessary at the private level as wll as a corporate and industrial cncern. (from turning down security lighting to ccurately putting window coverings into place)
