If you are like me, I hate to change my clock twice a year Eastern Standard Time and Then Back to Daylight Savings Time. I personally would like to stay on Daylight Savings Time. I would like to see if maybe we can get the USA to stay on DST. Here are my reasons why that I have looked into and they do make very good sense!

1.There’s more light to enjoy in the evening.

What’s better: Only a fleeting moment of daylight before work (and driving home in the dark) or being able to enjoy the daylight well into the evening hours? That’s what we thought. More light = more time to do what you want or need to do = a happier you.

2.The crime rate drops during daylight saving time.

Research has shown that robbery rates after daylight saving time fall an average of 7 percent, with a much larger 27 percent drop during those light-filled evening hours that didn’t exist before the time change. Mind. Blown.

3.It minimizes energy consumption (and lowers your costs).

When you enjoy more natural daylight, you use less artificial light — and that makes a real impact on the overall cost of energy consumption.

4.It lowers the incidence of traffic accidents.

Like driving home in the daylight versus the darkness, driving is easier when you can see your surroundings and where you’re going, right? Duh! Studies actually show that we could save hundreds of lives per year if we implemented daylight saving time year-round.I would hope that most of you would like this and the Famers, Those Of You Who Like to enjoy the outdoors a little longer in the evening!

My Opion is this would be better for everyone in the long run! I personally hate going back and fouth how about you! Please consider signing this petition to hopefully get congress to change this issue and stay on one time zone or another. I prefer Daylight Savings Time, See the advantages of doing this,

Spring forward and leave it there. More light equates to more time to do what you want or need to do.
