Ok Mark, I've added my comments to the article. But I'm not sure when it will be posted. Hopefully soon....
I personally only talk about Astronomy as the last venue to benefit by these new ideas of better lighting systems. So that's the route I took. It's my hope that it benefits your comments and makes the suggestion of replacing these older lights with a better system much more supportively. Otherwise great story Mark. -------------------- _______________________________________________

We have a good interest in this topic in the lower mainland right now.
I was asked to do an interview with CKWX 1130am last night and now it is being aired. I have had calls and emails with support and questions. I ask again for any memebers of the FVAS to step up and make some noise on this. It is a perfect venue. It only take a few minutes and could be the voice that pushes the doors wide open on this topic. http://www.news1130.com/news/local/article...obscuring-views Please Please Please send in comments, good or bad. Mark -------------------- Cheers

Add similar comments for you Mark from the previous article. You're doing an awesome job here. So much so I think I'll just step aside and let you work it. hahaa
Had I known you were so interested in light pollution I would have made you our spokesman for the FVAS. But in hind sight the RASC is such a large organization it has more teeth for this issue than I could muster. So give em hell man... Listening to the news right now...but haven't heard it yet. -------------------- _______________________________________________

Hi Mark,
I took the suggestion you made at the November FVAS Dinner Meeting and added a comment to the Georgia Strait article. Thanx for speaking out on the topic of light pollution abatement!!
