Petition updateBring Back Amber StreetlightsThe Hazards of Warm/Harsh White LED Streetlights+My Own Health Concerns

As you may have known for a long time now, WHITE AND WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS have been becoming a MAJOR HEALTH HAZARD as cities continue to roll them out and ignore residents' concerns on them. A Great example is Albuquerque New Mexico. The same city WHERE I STARTED AND CONTINUE this campaign. It has been NOTED SOME OF THOSE REMOTE LIGHT TEMPERATURE DEVICES I had spoken of A FEW UPDATES ago. But we all want to know IN THIS CITY what the holdup is. IN THE MEANWHILE, I need to discuss the VERY OPPRESSIVE AND DANGEROUSLY HEALTH HAZARDS these WHITE/WARM WHITE LEDS do to the human body and wildlife when THEY BECOME APART OF A CONTRACT THAT DOES NOT END for another 8 years.

- One of THE MOST MAJOR ISSUES THESE WHITE/WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS cause are circadian rhythm disruptions. When you live near or in an area where the LIGHTS are CONSTANTLY blasting BLINDING light through your windows, it CAN APPEAR as SUNRISE/DAWN. Creating that illusion that DAYLIGHT is coming. However, THIS IS NOT THE CASE! These WHITE/WARM WHITE LEDs create this POLLUTION IN THE SKY creating that DARKISH DAWN BLUE that we see AT DAWN'S TWILIGHT. Which CAN FOOL our brains into thinking the day IS ABOUT TO START when in reality, IT'S BARELY AFTER 2 AM. So, this is a DEEP AND UTTERLY DISTURBING CONCERN our city council needs to know, and ALL OF THE CITY AND STATE OFFICIALS of NM need to know! List of ALBUQUERQUE CONTACTS AND OFFICIALS will GIVE you THE FULL ARMS to contact city officials and much more on this STREETLIGHT HAVOC problem solved. I also URGE TO EXPLORER PNM RETROFIT REBATE PROGRAM and learn on what we can do as a collective to FIGHT BACK for 2200K-2500K Amber NBA AND PC LED STREETLIGHTS, HPS/SOLAR PANEL streetlights and much more!

- Another fact that backs me up. These WHITE/WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS cause are WILDLIFE disruption, and unhealthy tree growth. Our city Mayor keeps working on TREES meant for these environments, BUT STILL REFUSE TO grow due to the DAYTIME FOOLING LIGHTS they cause harm on. Our TREES AND WILDLIFE are a BIG PART OF THE GREATER SOUTHWEST and PLAY MAJOR ROLES IN THE DESERT to prevent ARIDIFICATION or WARMING OF CLIMATE and DRYER weather patterns. The Desert Southwest has endured DECADES of DROUGHT, HIGHER TEMPERATURES AND LACK OF MOISTURE during snowpack seasons and monsoon season rain decreases. WILDLIFE AND TREES keep this WEATHER CYCLE from burning up the southwest WHETHER LITERAL OR SYMBOLIC. And KEEPS OUR NATIVE/INDIGENOUS RESERVATIONS thriving. BUT without pressuring our city and state leaders, THESE RESERVATIONS WILL also suffer soon. And the INDIGENOUS PEOPLE ARE A VERY IMPORTANT PART of the land! They are POWERFUL TEACHERS AND LIFE EXPANDERS that understand HUMAN NATURE AND MUCH more! And these lessons are important to human and earthly/spiritual life!

- Light Pollution is another one. SOME PEOPLE can see ABQ'S WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS as FAR WEST AS GRANTS, NM HEADING TOWARDS GALLUP NM and as FAR EAST AS SANTA ROSA and FURTHER NORTH and SOUTH too! It's so bright, IT APPEARS like a MASSIVE ARTIFICIAL AURORA over THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE valley! And this detail NEEDS TO BE NOTICED. Because IT CREATES AN OVERLIT sky THAT bleeds UP INTO THE STRATOSPHERE AND IONOSPHERES. Which can LEAD TO MORE climatological disasters that could result IN INCREASE OF WILDFIRES and WORSENING water stricken areas. This CAN BLEED INTO THESE UPPER ATMOSPHERS AND IT'S SCIENTIFICALLY backed.

- OUTERSPACE TELESCOPES AND NEARBY SPACE EXPERTS also STRUGGLE being able to capture RARE and LEGENDARY planetary, sun, star, galaxies, and meteor events. Which results IN OUR ASTRONOMY to WHINED up being blind by these lights. Astronomy is IMPORTANT and PLAYS A KEY ROLE in viewing our cosmos. BUT when WHITE/WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS start creating an ARTIFICIAL AURORA that never ends, it could cause extreme detrimental disasters on the stargazing and skywatching communities WHICH ALSO ARE APART OF INDIGENOUS RESERVATION LANDS.

- WHITE/WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS Cause shadows that look physical or black void in appearance or distorted.

- WHITE/WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS Causes rise in crime rates which CAUSES more issues. THE MAYOR'S goal is to, "REDUCE CRIME RATES" with these WHITE/WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS. BUT THE EXACT OPPOSITE is taking affect in this.

- They cause ROAD MARKINGS AND PAINTINGS to look invisible and create GLARE ON THE STREET when it's foggy or the road is SOAKED IN RAINWATER. FURTHER UPPING ACCIDENT RATES and causing MORE HARM than less.

- They cause other physical symptoms SUCH AS DIZZINESS, COGNITIVE DECLINE, DEPRESSION, HIGHTENED ANXIETY and even OPPRESSIVE moods. Which MAKES THE CITY'S POPULATION look like ZOMBIFIED BEINGS and CAUSES THEM to appear UNRESPONSIVE. It's a drug issue too. BUT IT'S ALSO WHITE/WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS ISSUE as well. This FURTHER FEEDS THE ALCHOLIC AND DRUG INDUCED ISSUES that CAN LEAD TO further crimes, murders and much more. It is HIGHLY IMPORTANT that OUR MAYOR WITH HIS IDEA in creating LARGE PROJECTS THAT ONLY WORK ON ONE CITY BLOCK out of the 12,000 THIS CITY has DOESN'T resolve the root issues.

- Silver Alerts are higher too. In NM, Silver Alerts ARE OFTEN TIED TO COGNITIVE OR UNWELL SICK PEOPLE to become COGNITIVELY UNRESPONSIVE causing them TO WALK OUT OF THEIR HOMES WITH NO MEMORY or CONTROL OF THEIR ACTIONS. Which IS ALSO TIED TO RISING crime rates. THESE WHITE/WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS can CAUSE this in the human brain. Because OUR COORDINATED RESPONSES heavily rely on THE BRAIN RECEPTORS and OTHER FUNCTIONS our EYES AND BRAIN interconnect to. When HARSH WHITE AND WARM WHITE LEDS constantly BLARE AT THE EYES, THESE BRAINWAVE ACTIVITIES DECREASE FASTER causing MENTAL/EMOTIONAL harm and disturbances that can AFFECT the CRIME "FIX" Tim Keller has been talking about nonstop.

Finally LAST ARGUMENT, I am FACING MY OWN VERTIGO. SOMETHING I HAVE had for a long time. It's a consistent and wobbly feeling that DOES CAUSE NAUSEA and FATIGUE that results into ME HAVING TO keep drinking coffee and keep hydrating to an extent where I'm overhydrating. THIS RESULTS in other issues. The FENTYNAL USE IN ALBUQUERQUE has been SUPER HIGH too. This is because PEOPLE ARE NUMBING THEIR PHYSICAL AND BODY DISTRESSES that are BEING CAUSED BY THESE WHITE/WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS that CAUSES MAJOR harm on the HUMAN BODY!

Now THE QUESTION IS; Will this FIX the homeless and crime issues in our city? WILL IT PUT A STOP to the drug storm? NO! OF COURSE NOT! BUT IT WILL REDUCE the OPPRESSIVE AND NUMBING ATMOSPHERE the SENSITIVE PEOPLE often feel. WHICH could CREATE A LONG TERM RECOVERY (THAT COULD LAST DECADES OR EVEN A CENTURY but WILL BE THE RIGHT STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION) TO KEEPING ALBUQUERQUE'S AESTHETIC HIGH DESERT COLORS AND THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE AND OUR ANCESTORS WHO LIVE HERE. So, let me ask you this! DO THESE WHITE/WARM WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS bother you? Do they make you feel OFF OR tired? Do they GIVE YOU EMOTIONAL OPPRESSION OR SADNESS? If yes TO AT LEAST 2 OUT OF 3 OF THESE QUESTIONS then DON'T HESITATE to BE APART OF TEAM AMBER and fighting back against the WHITE LED STREETLIGHT CRISIS that has been HAUNTING OUR CITY for 7 years AND COULD LAST ANOTHER 8.

They are too bright and I am contacting you on behalf of discussing in future meetings and events to discuss AMBER NBA, RETROFITTING AND PC LED STREETLIGHTS. 2200K-2500K are the color temperatures that SHOULD BE required in our city's nighttime sky! Thank you for listening on this matter!" This gives you A SIMPLE LAYOUT and POWERFUL NONDISPUTED MESSAGE to your leaders!

Also NOTE; THIS MESSAGE I TYPED UP IN THE QUOTES CAN ALSO APPLY HERE IN THE UNITED STATES TOO! so PLEASE! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL DRAFT I TYPED IN THE ABOVE message! Thank you! Please SPREAD THIS WORD, GET IT OUT THERE AND LET'S FIGHT EVERY STEP of the way FOR OUR NIGHTTIME SKIES, TO OUR AESTHETICS AND CULTURAL NATURE AND OUR HEALTH AND WILDLIFE! We got this! WE'RE ALMOST AT THE SUBGOAL OF 500 signatures!
