The time changes associated with Daylight Saving Time are a relic of the past and serve no useful purpose in the 21st century. DST was implemented during wartime to conserve energy that could be better used in supporting the manufacturing needs of the country. The shift in time twice a year causes disruption to our natural rhythms and statistically there are more accidents in the days immediately following the springtime change. There are no conclusive studies showing that DST saves energy or improves output. Only a quarter of the world’s population follows the practice of changing times and obviously they manage without it. We the people are ready to banish Daylight Saving Time to the history books.
