Why this petition matters

Started by Joe Hill

During the winter months we get up in the extreme dark under DST having Hours of darkness still after arising for work or school. It is more Dangerous for our kids and us.

  • In the Summer we see setting suns at 9 pm at night under DST here in Florida and the Mid West. 
  • Allowing the natural flow of the Sun under Standard Time (ST), we will naturally start getting up with the Sun under ST. We wake up more refreshed stretching in the Morning Sun.

The Sun will Naturally set later in the evenings under ST in the Summer having more Sunshine later in the day without going into what is normally considered Nighttime Hours. Changing from from one Time to the other kills people  statistically Sometimes due to medical errors because of time change as one of the factors.

  • On average, the time change causes a 6 percent increase in fatal car accidents in the week following the spring DST transition, which amounts to about 28 additional deaths each year. Mar 6, 2020   https://www.healthline.com › health-news › daylight-savin...

Americans want to get rid of daylight saving time, poll finds
