Further to online and offline communication with Vicky, I have decided to take this campaign further and currently looking into creating a spin off GGG website about how we can educate shops and other establishments about using execessive lighting. I will provide an update about my progress via the GGG blog. If anyone would like to get involved please contact me via the GGG contact option and your email will be forward to me. Thanks.

Hi Anna-Lisa and Henriette

Thank you for your positive comments and action.

Great ideas from both of you too. What does everyone else think?

Love the idea of gathering info about the negative impacts of excessive lighting and making shops aware. I think most of the time people wouldn’t intentionally do something which is harmful but they just may not know the issues. Getting the info out there is the key.

I think that it may be useful to collate data about which organisations are the worse culprits for having exessive lighting and make them aware of the negative impacts. Such campaigning has started to make a positive impact on reducing the number of plastic bags and execessive packaging, so I believe that together we can influence companies and make the government in the UK and other countries impement leglislation that reduces light pollution.

Hi Vicky,

I will definetly take positive practive action and will lobby my MP (poor man must get sick of seeing letters from me – hopefully meeting up with him in October re other wildlife issues so will discuss light pollution with him as well)

Could there be a spin off GGG website which provides details about the light pollution campaign and where people could upload the letters they have written to their MP’s and the responses that we get. I don’t mind helping to set this up.
