What the petition asks
make a law to close shops light at night or take strict actions against it
In this energy crisis situation which everyone is facing and we are talking about electricity cuts for hours in coming months and prices of energy is shooting up - it really scares us to see the wastage of electricity in shops at night .
I believe that we have smart cameras now which can record any moments if lights are turned off in case of theft.
we have climate chnage talks every year looking for solutions but it really saddnes to see that we have solution in front of us and we are not taking any actions for the lights which are a huge wastage on climate
