Comments on: American Medical Association Adopts Resolution Supporting Energy-Efficient Outdoor Lighting That Reduces Glare And Light Pollution http://www.lightnowblog.com/2009/10/american-medical-association-adopts-resolution-supporting-energy-efficient-outdoor-lighting/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:57:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Charles Cameron http://www.lightnowblog.com/2009/10/american-medical-association-adopts-resolution-supporting-energy-efficient-outdoor-lighting/comment-page-1/#comment-853 Charles Cameron Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:44:29 +0000 http://www.lightnowblog.com/?p=2181#comment-853 I agree that it is odd that they would comment so far afield of their expertise. It would have been more interesting and appropriate if they had approached it from a light and health perspective. If the AMA wants to support changing outdoor lighting to have less impact on the circadian system of humans that would be important.

So, maybe the lighting industry can adopt a resolution that all AMA Board certified doctors should have be of the the proper height/weight/body fat proportion in order to keep their licences. Amazing that this was even discussed by the AMA...I can only think that it was proposed by a member of the Dark Sky Association that must also be a doctor.
