Turn off the Christmas lights? Bad idea! The parishioners who decide in Advent of all times in favor of darkness cause damage first of all – to adults and children, for whom light is especially important at this time. And for all those who have not yet understood the goal of energy conservation as politically motivated paternalism.
But it is this trend that dark communities are encouraging. After all, experts consider the savings effect to be “insignificant”. A symbolic measure that gives nothing to energy security. Scrooge from Charles Dickens would rightly bark “nonsense”!
Anyone who nevertheless decorates his house with great love in one of the bright places, involuntarily exposes himself and runs the risk of being branded an egoist. Do you think I’m exaggerating? On social media, the “demonize Christmas lights but drive a Tesla” faction is already arguing with light pollution fighters in favor of bats. Well then, Merry Christmas everyone.
Did you know that half of all street lights in Switzerland have yet to be converted to LED technology, which is 70 percent more efficient? And they work 365 nights a year.
