From the news I read about People wanting Daylight Saving Time (DST) to end. DST is a semi-annual practice that puts an hour's clock back in the fall and beyond an hour in the spring. This is to have an extra hour during the day during the summer months. Scientists question the value of time change. They say it can be harmful to our health and increase energy costs. The states of California and Massachusetts in the US are considering ending DST. The legislator there says that is meaningless today because we have electric lights and people work all the time. They also say it cuts traffic accidents and crime. The people who support DST include city workers, shop owners, people who exercise outdoors, and tourism companies. The number of heart attacks and strokes can increase due to changes in our body clock. With less rest, people make more mistakes, so accidents increase.
