Abolish Daylight Savings Time

Created by J.R. on March 10, 2014

We petition the White House to work with congress in abolishing Daylight Savings Time.

Studies have repeatedly shown that the justification for changing the clocks twice a year, saving energy, doesn't deliver the promised benefits. Some studies have actually found an increase in energy usage.

Furthermore there are well documented negative effects of the policy. It's been shown to cause an increase in traffic accidents, and to have a negative impacts on human health by disrupting normal sleep schedules. Changing the clocks is shown to negatively impact the school performance of children for weeks following the change.

It's time to end the practice of changing our clocks twice a year.
