Daylight Saving Time (DST) causes issues varying from an increased consumption of gasoline to children being forced to walk home from school in the dark. There is no conclusive evidence that DST positively benefits energy consumption. DST does not benefit consumers, children or the planet; it is outdated, universally abhorred by the general public, and has no relevance for agricultural professionals that many believe DST was originally designed for. Since DST holds no significant benefit for the people it is imposed on, it is time to end to the ridiculous "tradition" that is Daylight Savings Time.
