Why DST's Time Has Come
Written by Mike on
The benefits of DST far outweigh its disadvantages. There is more economic activity during DST. It’s safer to exercise outside. There’s more time for outdoor sports after work and school so parents can coach their kids. The increase in physical activity leads to a decrease in childhood obesity. The incidents of robberies is significantly less during DST. Even as it is now the hassle of switching back and forth each year for DST is worth the extra hour of daylight in the evening.
That’s not what we want, though.
We want DST ALL YEAR ROUND and removing that switching back and forth hassle by approving DST all year makes it a virtual no-brainer.
