I'm sorry, light pollution sounds like such a made up term. I fail to see how light pollution has any relevance to my life. Is it simply because you can't see stars at night? Tell me there is something more substantial than that. Even after reading the wikipedia article on it, I can't figure out why this phrase would interest people.
