Travis Longcore has it right in citing the harmful effects of excessive nocturnal lighting (The Malibu Times, Feb.4 ). Not only is this excessive lighting bad for health, restful sleep and peacefullness of the community — adding to the stresses of modern life — but it also wastes an incredible amount of money and energy and contributes to unnatural warming of the environment. The amount of lighting in Malibu and the hills is absurd — even insane. It is yet another disruptve intrusion into the natural environment.
