I, (print name) _________________________________________________ , request status as an individual supporting member of the Indiana Council on Outdoor Lighting Education (ICOLE). I acknowledge, by my signature below, my understanding and full support of ICOLE's mission statement.
ICOLE was founded for the purpose of promoting the responsible use of well-designed outdoor lighting. One of ICOLE's chief functions will be to direct concerned citizens of Indiana to resources that will enable them to better handle local lighting issues.
Our charter acknowledges that inappropriate lighting contributes to energy waste, dangerous roadway glare, urban light pollution, and can be an annoyance for neighbors. To this end, ICOLE endeavors to educate the public, as well as local and state officials, on alternative and preferable lighting solutions.
Our primary goal is to; coordinate the effort to promote awareness of good lighting design, educate the public to the inefficiencies of existing lighting and propose alternatives; and to provide resources and a forum for the communication of proven and prospective strategies in the effort to reduce light pollution. ICOLE is an affiliate of the International Dark-sky Association (IDA.)
