What are we saving in reality when Daylight Saving Time (DST) is on us?
As an individual, in my curiosity and logicalness, I ask myself whether or not there has been any significant change on my utility bill (PG&E) after turning the clock back or forth. Honestly, I do not see a nickel, dime or quarter difference but always a huge increase as we welcome Daylight saving time (DST) twice a year.
By the way, nineteen states want to get rid of Daylight saving time (DST) if the federal law is ever amended and, in some cases if the states around them also make the change. Arizona and Hawaii, however, are not included. The truth is March is harder on us than falling back in November. The shift in spring is associated with an increase in heart attacks, and car accident rates also go up for a few days after. It is eye-catching for our lawmakers.
It is up to the readers to speak up which is a good option; a healthy environment or hazardous daylight saving time. And I would share some good thoughts on nature as follows:
May the sun
bring you new
energy by day.
May the moon
softly restore
you by night.
May the rain
wash away
your worries.
May the breeze
blow new strength
into your being.
