Light pollution: how it’s changing the environment

How does your government act towards reducing light pollution?

  1. don't know
  2. they don't react. highway lights go out at night, but that's to save energy. the netherlands, being so densely populated, might find it hard to do something about light pollution.
  3. reducing light pollution is not a priority for our governments, both local and national.
  4. not at all. i live in houston and there is barely any regulation to speak of.
  5. not that i know of.
  6. i haven't seen the government say anything about light pollution.
  7. pretty sure they don't do anything.
  8. i don't know, honestly. it doesn't seem to be a priority.
  9. i'm not sure.
  10. i genuinely don't know if my government does anything about it, or cares at all. i've never heard anything from the government, whether local or national, about light pollution. it's not something that people really talk about.
  11. it does not
  12. it doesn't.
  13. no local plans - several attempts at the state level but nothing has passed. no national-level steps towards reducing light pollution.
  14. sadly, i don't think our government considers light pollution as an issue.
  15. individual cities and areas can enforce light pollution statutes, but our national government has not taken any action.
  16. the government is doing nothing; they even install more and more streetlights, even when it's unnecessary. the streetlights are on at the wrong times; for example, they are lit at night but turned off in the early mornings when people are already rushing to work.
