Last week I wrote a post about the wasteful use of lighting by shops at night time – ‘And let there be less light‘.
As if I wasn’t irritated enough by the fact that the shops in my local area (and everywhere else in the UK) leave their signage, security and indoor lights burning away all night I now have a new complaint!
Sitting outside our local pub the other night (I don’t spend every evening at the pub by the way – honest!) I noticed that one of the lighting culprits now has a large television in their window which plays a repeating movie, showing off its marvelous wares. The amusing things is that it’s so marvelous that I can’t event remember what that shop sells – effective marketing eh?
Ahhhh, I feel much better for getting that off my chest.

I found this story online at the New York Times so fascinating that I had to share it.

Lets make a foundation with the goal of getting stores to turn their light of at night… An extension to ggg perhaps.? I think it might work

Anyone else interested in joining ‘the shop light fight?’

I will definetly join up! We need companies to realise that there are green ways of marketing their services including WOMMA – word of mouth marketing which is extremely effective.
