The Illinois Coalition for Responsible Outdoor Lighting and Lewis University are sponsoring a day-long conference on outdoor lighting March 11. Information about the conference is available online. I will be in Japan, but I would love to be able to attend this event. Light and noise are among the most pervasive forms of pollution that degrade our quality of life, in my opinion. Try living next door to a yapping dog, for example. Good luck to those who will be in attendance.
