We need to move to Standard Time year round. Every November and March we change the clocks backwards and forwards. Studies have shown each time we move the clocks backwards or forwards there is an increase in car accidents, workplace accidents, and heart attacks in the two or three days that follow. It has been shown that Daylight Savings Time does not save energy as it was supposed to do, and costs millions in lost revenue. Many children have to get up and go to school in the dark in March when clocks are moved forward, and then again in the early Fall months as days get shorter. Going to Standard Time year round would prevent the increased risk of accidents and health issues as well as allow children and workers to travel to school or work when it is light outside.
