Is it better to leave a light on in a room if I'm coming back shortly or should I continue to obsessively turn them on and off as I leave and enter rooms?

The building across the street from me installed a big sign about a year ago advertising a rooftop cafe -- it's not bad, until the spotlights come on around 6:30 every night and shine in my office window until dawn. The kicker -- I don't think the cafe ever opened. But the lights never stop coming on. I know exactly what you mean, Anthony.

I'm glad to see somebody else trying to make a difference in the world by speaking up. I've been pushing to have more lights turned off for years... especially outdoor lights. Is there any rational reason why everything needs to be lit up all the time? Sometimes, it seems like we actually go out of our way to waste energy. Anthony Welcome aboard!
