Reading a earth related magazine back in March, I came across some notes I'd made based on the article. According to the author and where ever the research came from it has some interesting implications:
bright city lights reduce melatonin in the body
melatonin is a hormone secreted at night which helps the sleep cycle
unnecessary lighting waste 1.5 billion a year (did they mean dollars?)
unnecessary lighting emits 12 million tons of carbon dioxide
There were other interesting facts noted also. Need to do more research on these. Make sure the source was viable. Interesting thought process. Then who does the deciding about necessary lighting?
