Move the clocks forward this spring 30 minutes thereby ending the changing of the clocks two times per year for DST

Created by M.C. on November 14, 2014

There are some benefits to Daylight Savings and Standard time- so I propose Sunday, March 8, 2015 we split the difference and only move the clocks forward 30 minutes and hereby end the changing of the clocks. I believe once we as this great nation do so, other nations will follow suit.

"...workplace injuries increase the Monday after the clocks spring forward because of workers’ sleep loss, but there is no compensatory benefit in the autumn when clocks fall back. Estimates of potential lives saved from driver and pedestrian fatalities with later sunsets range from 180 people per year to 366—the equivalent of saving a life every day."
