People's Daily on December 27, British environmentalists recently accused the government of setting aside plans to control light pollution. According to the Telegraph Group website, the UK's 2005 Neighborhood and Environmental Purification Act (TheCleanNeighbourhoods and EnvironmentAct2005) was implemented in April this year after environmentalists and astronomy appealed for more than a decade. The bill stipulates that illegal lighting is illegal. Regional environmental health officials can follow the bill to deal with the light pollution problems of the most serious sleeps in the region that affect people's lives. However, the bill does not include light pollution caused by airport parking and transportation facilities such as railways and highways. Previously, campaigners calling for “back in the night†(Campaignersfordark skies) have been calling for a planning guide to stop development facilities that use excess lighting. The British government promised two years ago that it would include light pollution in a supplement to the Planning Policy Statement 23 on planning and pollution control. In November 2004, the “Planning Policy Statement No. 23†was promulgated on time, but the appendix for light pollution did not appear. However, the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office stated that such an attachment would be prepared as appropriate. With planning guidelines, when local officials approve the planning of new projects, they set thresholds for outdoor lighting to avoid more light pollution. Therefore, whether it is a new shopping mall, stadium, or a new real estate project or office building, their outdoor lighting should point to the bottom instead of the roadside and above. Another condition is that these outdoor lighting should be turned off after midnight. Such guidelines should also stipulate that local officials should develop light pollution control policies in accordance with local conditions. That is to say, in communities with natural beauty, stricter light pollution control policies should be formulated. A year after the government made a new guide to release a new guide, the British Astronomical Association received a letter from the staff of the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office stating that “we are not sure about the development of the guidelines because of the development of some more important policies. Start". Shaun Spiers, head of the campaign to ProtectRuralEngland, said: "There is no or no plan for the government to limit the light pollution policy. This is very disappointing. We strongly urge the ministers to reconsider the issue.†He said: “The starry night sky is the most precious and endangered feature in the country. The UK is emitting more greenhouse gases. In this case, light pollution is about electricity. And fossil fuels are extremely wasteful.†BobMizon of the British Astronomical Association said: “The planning guidelines are needed because the existing guidelines are largely ignored. People are Buying cheap and nice lights, the lights are shining in all directions. They don't want to spend on energy-saving lamps. If there is no specific policy, we have to endure bad lighting pollution." A spokesperson for the deputy prime minister's office said: "Government There is no plan to change the planning policy for light pollution. We are determined to do
