Zusammenfassung
'Light-Pollution' und Licht-Smog, überdosiertes blaustichiges Licht, wertloser, sinnloser Licht-'Abfall' samt Nebenwirkungen kann nicht mehr ent'sorgt' sondern muss prophylaktisch verhindert werden. Weltweit.
Summary
Light Pollution can be prevented. It has to be prevented – for the sake and for the benefit of ecology, economy and sensory physiology. And the beauty and the magnificence of the world heritage Starry Sky.
