DST was first adopted to replace artificial lighting so they could save fuel for the war effort in Germany during World War I at 11:00pm (23:00) on April 30, 1916. It was quickly followed by Britain and many countries from both sides, including the United States. Many countries reverted back to standard time post-World War I, and it wasn’t until the next World War that DST would make its return to many countries in order to save vital energy resources for the war.
It isn't necessary that we have this anymore. Although having an extra hour of light is nice, it does nothing but cause people to lose an hour of sleep. Students lose precious time that they could use doing homework or sleeping. It takes more than one day to get used to this change!
We the People demand that DST is revoked!
