A true worry. It seems we don't seem to have any push back on visual annoyance. Signs and sings and signs. Billboards (not in maine). Road signs- our stop signs now all have signs that warn there is stop sign. Cities and towns installing bright digital information screens. More and more you look around and see visual pollution. People walking a beach at night with a headlamp on. It's like we don't have any sense of the disruption on serenity all these thing have. And space won't be any different. (okay rant over)

When I moved to Maine from Texas the billboard thing I think I knew about but didn’t think about. After living in Maine for 2+ years… it is another story, I absolutely love it and it is a daily reminder how different my experience is. On the freeway driving to another city, great beautiful serenity. In town, awesome… no unsightly obstacle to worry about when backing out of a parking space or to busy your vision while you try to look down the street at the traffic.

Lol fuck yeah, keep this a thing, I didn’t know how much of a thing is was until I was shown different.

If you value nature, beauty of the land, and just not being constantly pedaled shit from some advertising boardroom then support initiatives to prevent this crap.
