change the current model of Daylight Saving Time so that we Fall FORWARD and Spring BACK (more daylight in winter!).

Created by G.Y. on November 05, 2014

This petition is intended to produce legislative change with regard to the current system of Daylight Saving Time so we actually Fall FORWARD (move clocks AHEAD in November) and Spring BACK (move clocks BACK in March), which is the complete opposite of the current system. The primary reasons for this are two-fold: (1) create a system in which Americans experience MORE sunlight in the afternoon/evening hours during wintertime so people can get outside in daylight hours more frequently year-round, and (2) reduce the overall "gap" between sunset times at winter and summer solstices in an attempt to better sync our natural human circadian rhythm with the artificial impact of time on the human body. This would most effectively be done by skipping a fall and starting in the next spring.
