(meteorobs) Report on Light Pollution on ABC News with Peter Jennings
Subject: ABC World News Tonight Story on the Need for Dark Nights
Apologies if you've already seen this ...
Peter Jennings, ABC News did a spectacular in-depth news story as part of the
ABC Evening News on Wednesday evening (May 16).
The story focused on the fact that dark nights might be necessary for better
human health. The story included an interview with a Photo Biologist on the
Cancer risks caused by Light at Night due to suppression of Melatonin.
It was a really powerful delivery of the message to the mainstream public.
If you didn't see the story, you can still listen to it by going to

and click on the right where it says "Missed World News Tonight? Listen Now."

Peter Jennings will announce the headlines at the start, including the story
on the need for dark nights.
The dark night story is the last story..dot it's really a great story...that can
serve as a persuasive argument to support the full cutoff streetlights...

P.S. Jennings finishes the report with: "You learn something new every
day." ( ! )
