"Iceland's capital and several towns plunged into darkness on Thursday as street lights
were turned off for people to get a better view of the night sky."

Great idea. But for only half an hour? :S
They need to get the whole community involved,
and do it for a whole night. Still, it's a start...

What would be great would be if they would turn off the lights for each new moon. That is what I would love to see happen in many areas of the world.
