MLO Webcast (Model Lighting Ordinance)
This presentation will provide you with an overview of the Model Lighting Ordinance (MLO), as developed in association with International Dark Sky Association. Participants will learn how the MLO:
- Permits reasonable uses of outdoor lighting for night-time safety, utility, security, productivity, enjoyment and commerce
- Minimizes adverse impacts including light trespass and obtrusive light
- Curtails light pollution and improves the nighttime environment for night-sky viewing and astronomy
- Helps protect the natural environment from the adverse effects of night lighting from gas or electric sources
- Conserves energy and resources to the greatest extent possible
