I was staying on the main page waiting for something to happen, and then I realize I should scroll down!
I love the concept, but not sure how we can convince everyone to follow.

There are quite a few homes in my area that still use gas lamps at night. The HOA is pretty good about sending letters to people who install 100w 5500k led cannons in their exterior fixtures.

I've not seen a streetlight anywhere that wasn't collimated downward. Traditional neons are amber.
So we had it right well over half century ago as far as street lighting went.

I've seen pretty much every variant of https://i.imgur.com/l9msIIM.jpeg somewhere around most places I've visited in North America/Europe.

My only gripe with amber lights is that they make me sleepy easily.

Feature not a bug
Simply existing in a city should not compel you or other creatures to stay awake
If a person wants to stay awake at night then they can take that upon themselves

There is no "person A's sky only receives light from lamp A and person B's sky only receives light from lamp B" repeated 500,000 times. Both will make their own "simply existing in a city should not..." and "they can take that upon themselves" arguments about it and the problem that it's about what should be done with public space rather than the inside of their homes will still remain.
The article would be a lot shorter if it were as easy as individuals taking on their own citywide lighting choice and perspective. Signed as someone who now lives in a much, much smaller "city" than before :).

Why can the user only accept, but not reject the cookies? I personally do not care, I block them in the browser.
Why is the "e" in "responsible" on a new line?
Dark-Sky
Lighting is
Responsibl
e Lighting.

How much crap to go through before finding out what it is? This is like one of those recipe sites

From the article:
> See 6 important reasons for using it, or skip to What is Dark-Sky Lighting?
Also from the article "2 minute read". And I thought that those news about atrophy of attention span are exaggerated.

To be fair, I saw that, I saw the “skip” link, and thought “that’s ok, I’ll just scroll down” on my phone.
It took SO many scrolls to get to the point. So the frustration is justified.

The safety argument for street lighting makes me sad. I'd prefer if people just used their phone torches at night.
I used to cycle home in pitch black, watching the stars. Never had any incidents, others would notice me or I them before anything happened

There are lots of safety arguments for street lighting.
For one, as a city dweller, I would be absolutely terrified walking around at night, having to rely on a flashlight to see anything. Not just a "scared of the dark" thing, but good outdoor lighting discourages things like robberies and assaults. And sure, cars could just use their headlights, but still, visibility in populated areas would be very bad, and safety for pedestrians at night would be awful.
