end daylight saving time and switch to permanent daylight saving time (summer hours)

Created by C.S. on January 12, 2013

To remove the outdated practice of daylight saving time and set a permanent standard daylight saving time using the summer hours all year with no time shifts.

This is now the digital age with electronics running almost 24/7.

DST was initially enacted to conserve energy, however usage patterns have changed greatly since that time. Recent research that has been done is limited and often contradictory.

Some studies show that DST negatively effects our health and can increase the risk of a heart attack.

Another study shows that people are safer drivers during daylight hours.

It is time to end this outdated practice.
