Light Pollution

Light Pollution is a big problem here. The map below will show
how big the problem is & how it could be avoided. By placing full cut off lighting
it would cut down the price of power cost and put money back
in the cities' pocket. It is sad that all cities don't do it. The environment must suffer because of this small problem, from the birds and other animals that fly to robbing us our night sky.
