Extend Daylight Saving Time (DST) Year Round
Please end the arcane practice of changing our clocks twice a year. Make DST a year-round reality, giving us all more light in the afternoon/evening.
Daylight Saving Time has been shown to:
- - save energy
- - lower traffic accident rates
- - lower crime
Extending it Year Round would further:
- - end confusion over the practice
- - avoid society-wide 'jet lag' 2x/year
- - save individuals and companies the hassle of changing clocks
- - provide consistency nationwide
