The modern practice of Daylight Savings Time (DST) is incredibly outdated and serves no beneficial or clear purpose in today's society. Originally utilized during the energy crisis of the 1970s as a way to reduce energy caused by artificial lighting, DST causes far more confusion today than it is worth.
The advent of energy efficient artificial light sources have rendered the original argument for changing our clocks twice a year obsolete. Furthermore, with some parts of the country observing this time change and others not doing so, DST creates even more problems!
Finally, Daylight Savings Time makes the sun set at 4:00 pm during the winter months, which can undeniably have a depressing effect on the majority of people. Do the right thing- end Daylight Savings Time today!
