The NJ State Legislature established the Study Commission in 1995. Mr. Hally and a number of NJAA members who are residents of Clinton Twp. attended a number of town meetings and showed the town fathers that a light pollution ordinance is a common sense idea whose time has come. Hundreds of States, cities and towns across the country have enacted light pollution rules. The best way to describe Light Pollution is to give you a couple of examples. Well if you've answere yes to any of these questions you've experienced ligh pollution.
Glare never helps visibility, but it is far too common in our towns and cities.
Many present lighting installations bother us as much or more than they help us. In some States People have won Light Tresspass cases in court where un-neighborly neighbors have refused to reaim their lights. But it always pays to try and talk nicely to your neighbors about their light problems. All this extra unneccessary lighting leaves us with a trashy looking, confusing environment. We should be striving for a good looking environment, just as we should be doing in the day time.
