Should countries around the world put aside at least one night (or 1 hr) a year where it's lights out, so people can appreciate the view of a moonless night canopy without urban light pollution?
I understand there is still need for emergency equipment but a night without light pollution can't help but be therapeutic when people can finally appreciate just what's really twinkling above them. Astronomers know the amazing vistas that can be viewed, even without the aid of telescopes. I think people in big cities would really be awed by the experience.
