Lash: Apache Junction needs dark-skies designation; planet awash in artificial lighting

Posted

I am for that ("Dark-skies designation suggested for City of Apache Junction").

Unrealistic human fear drives unnecessary lighting.

The streets and freeways could have half as many street lamps.

The planet is awash in artificial lighting. Many neon signs are overwhelming.

Also, I see no need for billboards. They are frankly an eyesore blotting out a view of the great Sonoran desert --- what's left of it.
