To quote:

And, finally, the piÃ¨ce de rÃ©sistance: the cover story of National Geographic's November 2008 issue. The article is grippingly titled "The End of Night" â€” to which I might add: "Light Pollution â€” It's Not Just About Astronomers Any More."

Check out the cover of the latest NGM - that should bring some
global attention to light pollution:

Plus this editorial on LP issues in a small Virginia town - no big surprise
that a lot of Joe Sixpackers couldn't care less about seeing the stars
or not. The image is pretty amazing, at least:
