Spring Froward or Stop?

Effort: 10 minutesIn March, most Americans “spring forward” and lose an hour of sleep as Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins. The idea dates back to Benjamin Franklin, but it became official during World War I when Germany adopted it to conserve energy. The United States later standardized it with the Uniform Time Act. Not everywhere participates; places like Hawaii and most of Arizona stay on standard time year-round. Since 2018, twenty US states have passed laws or resolutions to eliminate the twice-a-year time change. However, these changes cannot take effect unless the U.S. Congress amends the federal law. Hence, none of the state efforts have succeeded. The European Union also voted to end the seasonal clock changes in 2019. But that law has yet to take effect. Today, DST is still debated. Some say it saves energy and boosts evening daylight. Others argue it causes sleep loss and accidents. Your Task: Step 1: Take a Position Should we keep DST, make it permanent, or eliminate it? Why? Make your case! Step 2: Design a Fix Create one solution to reduce the negative effects of time changes (policy, tech tool, school adjustment, or awareness campaign). More
