Abolish Daylight Saving Time

Created by S.G. on December 13, 2012

Keeping Daylight Saving Time (DST) does not have much benefit in our modern society. Changing our society's sleep patterns adversely affects the health of adults, children, schools, and workplaces. Studies show DST does not significantly save energy and may even increase energy usage.

A good first step might be to appoint a commission to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of DST by examining existing research on DST, conducting new research as needed, and soliciting public input.
