N. Schulte-Romer: a lot of urban lighting motivated by fear - humans are scared of the dark! There's also an element of control: lighting allows surveillance
She encourages everyone to ask who needs lighting and why? Think beyond your own cultural group beyond your own species.
Her guidelines:
-slow down
-accept 'uncommons': 'safe' isn't the same for everyone
-ask 'who will be safe?' think beyond humans
LED replacements offer window of opportunity for change
