LIGHTS OUT' PETITION

If you happen to travel through town in the small hours of the morning, you may be surprised to see the number of lights blazing away illuminating shops and offices for no apparent reason.

This waste of energy is damaging to the environment and represents a significant financial cost. If there were a night time blackout for lighting emissions (say between the hours of 1am [at least] and sunrise) this would save huge amounts of energy and resources. Clearly there will be examples where lighting is required through the night, but where a health & safety or security need is not demonstrated then a ‘black-out' practice should be adopted.

Agree? Then why not support the petition to the Prime Minister by clicking on the following link:
