End Daylight-Saving Time.

Created by M.M. on October 08, 2016

Researchers have theorized that having DST all year round (never changing the time during the year) could decrease deaths from traffic accidents — saving up to 366 lives, according to a 2004 study in the journal Accident Analysis & Prevention.
In another study of Americans between 18 and 64 in Arizona , as well as Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah, researchers found no increase in physical activity after daylight-saving time ended in the fall.
All in all, there's a fair case that daylight-saving time is bad for us puny humans, even if it might save a little energy or stimulate the economy slightly. That's why some people are campaigning to get rid of it
