A story in Monday's (6 Aug) Daily News says Calgary is dimming its
streetlights to save energy, reduce CO2 emmissions ... and to make it
easier to see the stars.

Maybe Halifax will catch on ... and get rid of those senseless lights on
the MacDonald Bridge!

3. KNOW THE SYSTEM: The system perpetuates itself. Use the tools you have
The telephone is underrated. The Internet can be of great research value.
Learn how decsions are made. How is the bureaucracy structured? Who are
the key players? What do they look like? Where do they eat? Go and talk
with them. Get to know their executive assistants. Attend public meetings.
