The Santa Cruz Chapter of the International Dark-Sky Association celebrates the successful removal of unnecessarily bright and glaring external lighting from a factory on the far west side of Santa Cruz.
These lights, installed in violation of city code, generated light pollution that could be seen far beyond the boundaries of the business. They also wasted electricity, causing more pollution.
We express our gratitude to the concerned citizens with whom we worked, and to Santa Cruz City Code Enforcement.
This business can ensure the safety of its employees and property without resorting to polluting the nearby environment, which includes residents, parks, and riparian areas.
