end daylight savings time. The practice of changing time on a clock has proven to be futile and dangerous.

The practice of altering our clocks twice a year is unnecessary at the least and dangerous at the extreme. One recent study concluded that DST "increased overall residential electricity consumption by 1% to 4%, due mostly to extra afternoon cooling and extra morning heating; the main increases came in the fall. The overall annual cost of DST to Indiana households was estimated to be $9 million, with an additional $1.7–5.5 million for social costs due to increased pollution." In addition to economic and environmental impacts, DST has been shown to increase the risk of heart attacks by 10%, and rates of suicide are also shown to increase following the time change.
The time has come to end this artificial changing of the time and allow our natural circadian rhythms adjust to seasonal changes.
