Hi guys!
this is a little video i found on youtube which shows pictures of light pollutions. The cities depicted in these areas are cosmopolitan areas, city areas.

Here are some of the comments found on YouTube from people who have watched this clip

Beatifull video !
If you see your skies being damaged by badly installed lights or lights that are blinding you as you drive, you can call your local Goverment or city hall and make a complaint. In Canada, they have to investigate your complaint. I got many problem lights corrected this way and you can too. Just aim for the bad lights and complain. And remember, turn your lights off if you don' t need them. Act, complain about it and do something locally. It will add up

Beautiful movie! Here in Germany there's a discussion running to enact a law against light pollution. Let's all hope, that the people will learn it :)

Every year thousands of new high-pressure sodium lamps are not properly installed (too much, too bright, and light is directed above horizon line).
