Speaking of buildings and cities lit up, I had a picture of a partial moon,
and the dark portion was nearly visible, that is the reflection from the
earth lighting up what was a dark moon when I was a kid.

I don't normally comment on this sort of stuff but whether you believe 
in global warming or not, would you want to take the responsibility of 
explaining to your grandchildren why the planet is like it is and a good 
reason why you used up all their resources, oil will only last a finite 
time at current usage, why not clean up the atmosphere, cut down on its 
use and  use renewable energy where possible.  Why not recycle where 
possible what is bad about doing so, sure it takes a bit more effort but 
why wouldn't you expend the effort - sorry but can't be *rsed won't 
sound good to your grandkids or greatgrandkids.

I remember being taught about electrons in high school and the physics 
teacher saying that sometimes it behaved like a particle and other times 
it was a wave, I could never accept this answer or the thinking around 
the atoms structure at the time and many years later I found there was a 
bit more to it than initially thought, my point is that I am intelligent 
enough to know that I there is more I don't know than I know and I 
believe this is true of the whole human race, so I for one will try and 
do my bit to reduce waste so that I can at least say to my grandkids 
that I cared enough to try and do something about it.

I am not perfect I don't have the most economic of vehicles, but at 
least my head is not buried and I am trying, although I am frustrated by 
the lack of development in solar panels and led light bulbs.

My wife's pet hate is the fact that there is a push for everyone to swap 
to energy efficient light bulbs, yet buildings are lit up nightly all 
across europe (and I guess rest of the world) for no reason that she can 
sensibly ascertain
