Excuse my ignorance, but why is everyone getting so excited about a
bill that only applies to future buildings owned by the state of Arizona?
It seems to me that in 20 years that will be what, .5% of existing lights?
While I agree it may be a good exercise to enact something like this so
that in a few years we can get it to apply to private future construction,
it doesn't really have anything to do with darkening existing skies or
even keeping them at their current level.
It seems to me, as a homeowner looking for locally available good lighting
to install around my house, that we would be better off enforcing existing
lighting laws at existing retailers - getting illegal lights off their
shelves and fighting to get a simple shielded light available to install
on my house. Lead by example!
