Light Pollution and the Loss of the Night Sky

Here on the West Coast I was watching a show called California
Connected, and it had a piece about some folks working out of Death
Valley and the loss of the night sky to wasted light pollution

It was called 'In Search of Darkness' and brought back to mind the
nerve wracking problems with wasted energy, wasted light, wasted
experiences and the loss of a natural resource our young people don't
know about any more.

Nothing can replace laying with the Earth at your back and the Milky
Way overhead and the knowing of the world turning under it all.

I suppose no one person can fix this problem; but perhaps each of us
can influence those about us, without seeming 'kooky' or extremely
radical.

In any case, if you get a chance to watch the episode listed above,
please do so.
