. @ScenicAmerica is working on underground wires, and there’s been a lot of progress. Let’s keep going!

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

In many areas of Iceland, you won’t see any electric wires or telephone wires in the air as everything is underground. Rather than pole crews fixing things up, you’ll see workers opening up the pavement to reveal wiring that is usually kept out of sight.

Billboards aren’t just a U.S. problem!

Good news: Scenic America and its pro-beauty allies scored a critical judicial win last week when the Wisconsin Seventh Circuit upheld the city of Madison’s ban on digital billboards. https://t.co/3lM83ut3hR

"Digital advertising screens are consuming huge amounts of power for little social value & active environmental harm. No wonder these screens were the first things to be switched off when countries in Europe needed to save energy this year." #billboards

Billboards are bad, even if they think their message is good.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Highway signs that list the number of drivers killed on a stretch of road (something 28 states do) lead to an additional 17,000 crashes, 104 deaths, and $2.5B of social cost per year.

People are distracted by the signs telling them not to be distracted. https://t.co/tAkOW5OCKi

This is absolutely awful and how in the world did the City of New York permit its iconic skyline to be desecrated in this way? It’s bad enough having billboards yelling at you. You shouldn’t have to tolerate the sky doing it.

[Jake Offenhartz @jangelooff]

Tomorrow night, a fleet of 500 drones will "take over" NYC's skyline, shining a massive ad for Candy Crush down on the city.

It's part of a new marketing effort aimed at "turning the sky into the largest screen on the planet." https://t.co/ouw1a3XGuB

Beauty is good for business Brent Chamberlain of @usuaggies, Richard Smardon & Patrick Miller of @virginia_tech talk about how to quantify the economic value of scenic beauty. #Scenic2022

Please support full funding for Scenic Byways! Alabama has 4 national and 7 state byways. They're beautiful AND help local economies! Click the @ScenicAmerica link below for info and emails to your representatives. https://t.co/yMAVfvieol

Scenic America is collecting "ugly" pictures - examples of what we're fighting against. We'll be sending some billboard forests and sign clutter! Submit here: https://t.co/rZqhoqMOsX

Is a billboard stealing from you? This article explains that blasting a message without your consent is attention theft - and it's affecting our mental health. https://t.co/xpCvmBKcAN

[Scenic Alabama @ScenicAlabama]

Scenic organization can go beyond billboards and byways - the folks at Scenic Pittsburgh created a community greenspace from a vacant lot. @ScenicPGH https://t.co/RJAdjUGjVs

[Scenic Alabama @ScenicAlabama]

Alabama has 11 scenic byways, which are not only beautiful but also benefit local economies. The FY2023 federal budget includes funds for byways. We'll be working to encourage communities to apply for these funds. https://t.co/eWS8WTbvys

This #TerribleTuesdays we highlight the junk mail of the American highway, billboards. Although these signs clutter our roadways, they do little to bolster local business. Read more about the importance of sign control: https://t.co/k2P68HCJYI

Kudos to Cape May, NJ, Milford, CT, and Eureka, CA for taking actions against billboards in their communities. https://t.co/Bfq3a1bGCD
