Houston we have problem

[gaelic cowboy]

I have found myself unable to sympathise with the enviromentalists when they tell us to "turn off your needless lights" when I am surrounded by shops that keep thiers at supernova after closing time, and even at 3 AM. I have yet to hear anyone propose a nighttime blackout on the highstreets.

Thats simply answered by a bit of common sense in reality.

How many shops are there where you live and by how much are they outnumbered by residential dwellings.

What year were said residential dwellings and business mostly constructed in the same area.

These two questions will answer a lot of your concerns.
