End Daylight Saving Time

Created by J.B. on March 04, 2013

We should demand an end to Daylight Saving Time. Is it fair to change so many people’s schedules by one hour during daylight saving times? I say no it’s not. How can a relatively small group of people just decide that it is okay to change time itself. Can you imagine how much labor goes into making that hour change happen? I know that DST supposedly saves a small amount of energy. But then there are studies that have shown no energy savings as a result of DST. A study of traffic accidents throughout Canada in 1992 by Stanley Coren of the University of British Columbia found an eight percent jump in traffic accidents on the Monday after clocks are moved ahead. If we are saving energy let's go year round with Daylight Saving Time. If we are not saving energy let's drop Daylight Saving Time!
