He is a very smart man in England and I live near Chicago. We are both interested in controlling light pollution. To me, light pollution and global warming go hand in hand. Our village recently passed a ground breaking light pollution ordinance for the Chicago area. Plus we passed a proclamation supporting Earth Hour. You can find it on http://www.earthhourus.org under cities, other. My English friend and I are finding that not a lot of people are aware that March 29 is Earth Hour across the globe. What are you planning for Earth Hour? Debra I found your website on my friends site. He is a very smart man in England and I live near Chicago. We are both interested in controlling light pollution.
