D.C. Councilwoman Mary Cheh of ward 3 wants DC to turn off the lights. She has put for a bill that would make buildings install timers and change fixtures so they don’t release lumens.

I think all of this can be solved just by turning the damn lights off. Have you ever driven down the street at night (3am or so) and seen a DC Gov’t building or Federal buildings with all there lights on? I have!

The best quote in the article by the DC Examiner is

“Kids in the city don’t know anything about stars or constellation for that reason,” Dougherty said. “It’s really a crime. You should be able to see Orion. You should be to see the planets.”

I don’t think kids not being able to see the planets and stars is a lighting issue but a teaching problem in the DC school system.
