Campaign for Dark Skies

Most of you will have heard of the Campaign for Dark Skies - a
campaign to put a halt to light-pollution (wasted light which destroys
our view of the night sky
whilst wasting money and making our street unnessesarily dim!).

Please see the CfDS website for more details at:
http://www.dark-skies.org


Can you all PLEASE do me a favour and support the Campaign for Dark
Skies campaign on the BBC iCan website at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/ican/G630

Please go to that page, and click the "support" button (only takes a
few minutes).


This is because I will be talking about the CfDS on the East
Midlands
BBC News in the next few days and the journalist wants to use that
slot to
also promote the BBC iCan website - and so we obviously want to make
the
CfDS to look as popular as possible! (we have 125 members, but the
BBC's
short notice isn't too useful!)


Also, the news item will also be on the BBC News Sci/Tech website,
maybe
wednesday or thursday.

Cheers!

I notice that on the ICan home page the article is called the
'Campaign *against* dark skies'.

Whoops.

Oh, shame I missed that - one they seem to have fixed it now.

I assume they've off-shore'd the copy writing:

'The beautiful and inspirational view of a sky full of stars with the
Milkyway arcing overhead is denied to millions of people and children in the
UK.

er, guys, it's 'Milky Way' btw.

And whats with this, 'millions of people and children', thannnngg?. Millions
of people, yeah, OK, but why tack children on the end? Or are they not
people? OTOH I think 'millions of people and teenagers' would have been spot
on .

Ho hum. Back to the kitchen...

Well - I tried to register and I've now waited 24 hours for the
'confirmation email' but so far nothing. So I can't vote.

I feel disenfranchised.

Are you sure you're not affiliated to Al Qu'ida? Or been out with Mary
Qu'ida? That would disenfranchise anyone.

Seriously odd - it let me vote immediately, before any emails arrived
(and emails is the right word - 3 duplicates: perhaps I got yours)
Looks like a fairly unstable set up. We ought to get that German lad
to bump up the votes to 4 million for CfDS.
