SCMP, Mar 20, 2013:

"Light pollution in Hong Kong 'worst on the planet'

It’s 1,200 times brighter over Tsim Sha Tsui than a normal dark sky, three-year study finds, posing a danger to health and wildlife

I especially like the Lamma Island part of this illuminating map. The only "light-polluted" area is the Power Station. Almost all the power produced in there is lighting up all of HK Island, but not light-polluting Lamma.

Reminder: Earth Hour this Sat, 8:30pm.

Light pollution over the Lamma Power Station? See Lamma Photo of the Day from 2008 below, submitted by Wingman.

Plus Harry's View today, Mar 20, 2013, on this subject, brilliant as usual.
