Daylight Saving Time is something we do here in the United States every year, where we move the clocks back one hour in the fall and move them forward one hour in the spring. Daylight saving time was established during World War I to save energy for war production by taking advantage of the last hours of daylight between April and October. Although it was said to save a lot of energy, today it is extremely difficult to determine how much energy is saved, and it is possible that daylight saving time saves little or no energy. Which begs the question: Is Daylight Saving Time necessary in the United States? There are many pros and cons, but the cons outnumber the cons, and something should be done about it. It all started early one morning while Englishman William Willett was riding in London in 1905, where he had the idea that the United States should move the clocks forward 80 minutes between April and October so that more people could enjoy the abundant sunlight. Willet published the pamphlet “The Waste of Daylight” in 1907 and spent much of his life walking around and telling people about the wonders of “daylight saving time.” Each year the British Parliament rejected the idea, and in 1915, at the age of 58, Willet died without ever seeing his idea come to fruition. Finally, on April 30, 1916, Germany adopted summer time, and weeks later, the United Kingdom followed suit and introduced summer time. Once countries like the United States and European nations, saw the positive results of this clock-changing idea, they implemented the idea, in hopes of saving as much energy and Germany and Britain seemed to be saving. There are still people today who do not know the actual re...... half of paper ore, during and after the daylight saving time period of 1991 and 1992. They have attributed this percentage jump to the lost hour of sleep. We could blame this for many things, but regardless of the reason, there's no denying that changing clocks comes at a significant cost in human lives. While some people say they would miss the late evening light, others love the morning light. In 2007, Congress passed legislation that introduced daylight saving time three weeks early and abolished it a week later. This change cost US companies a lot of money to bring back automated equipment, and it also took us further away from Asia and Africa. Personally I like waking up to tell the truth and seeing the queue outside. I believe that if it really saves energy, then we should use daylight saving time all year round. And if that's not the case, then we should eliminate daylight saving time altogether.
