An @ipsos report for the national energy distribution company of France notes (en français) that "80% of elected officials surveyed have already implemented the switching off of public lighting after 10 p.m. in their municipality". (h/t @salvabara)

Time to remember the magnificent cover from the 25th of December, 1947, “Edition Nöel” of the “Journal de Tintin”. Yes, it’s not a photo, nevertheless notice the absence of any #publiclighting, the #starrysky, the grey snow (it’s night, but that does not mean absolute darkness - natural #darkness is brighter than many could imagine). One might speculate that there’s no moon either, since there are no shadows. We are missing this possibility due to #lightpollution from millions of useless lights.
