What+would+happen+if+we+didn't+have+daylight+savings+time


 * Culturally
 * Living and work schedules change, working the same amount of hours but their evening plans may be altered
 * Work schedules might also change for people
 * Economically
 * Businesses benefit from DLST because people have more daylight to shop (ex: sports businesses)
 * DLST can adversely affect farmers because the best time for harvesting grain is after the dew goes away so when the farm hands come in early, the dew is still chilling so they have to wait
 * In Arizona they don't observe DLST because the extra hour causes more energy use
 * Socially
 * Effects of mood and depression
 * Prevents crime because people are at home more when it is dark
 * DOT: Americans like DLST because there is more light in the evenings and they can do more in the evenings
 * Globally
 * The majority of the northern hemisphere, 70 countries
 * Communication with people in other countries, countries have different change dates
 * DLST has a global goal to reduce energy consumption

Third Grade!

Culturally Alcohol- bars stop serving between 2am-6am Some states claim that bars stop serving earlier than 2am because of DST What would happen? <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 2.25in;">It would be safer to not practice, because there would be an hour less to drink in the fall Not observed in hawaii, puerto rico, arizona Economically Energy savings offset by cooling, heating, and gas Indianans actually spent $8.6 million more each year because of Daylight Savings Time Ben Franklin decided we should do this in the summer months because its more economical to use sunlight than candles <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 1.5in;">Following the 1973 Oil Embargo the US congress extended DST to 8 months rather than the normal 6 months, during that time, the department of transportation saved the equivalent of energy of 10,000 barrels of oil each day, a total of 600,000 barrel of oil in each of those two years <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 1.875in;">2007, it commenced on the 2nd Sunday in march and ended on the first Sunday in November, saving even more oil Socially <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 1.5in;">Less electricity was thought to be used, because people are home fewer hours during the longer days of spring and summer <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 1.5in;">Most people plan outdoor activities in the extra daylight hours When people are not at home, they don't turn on appliances and lights Many believe that this ruse of energy savers was a ploy by the government to get people to do more work during the evening <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 1.5in;">Many people intensely dislike DST, frequent complaints about the inconvenience of changing many clocks and adjusting to the new sleep schedule, for some people with sleep disorders, this transition is really hard Globally In the European union, summer time begins and ends at 1am as opposed to 2am in the US In the EU all the time zones change at the same moment What would change? Those that do observe, all observe at a different time and varies through each season Airplane time zones Sleep distrubances <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 1.875in;">Severity of auto accidents <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 2.25in;">Increases as people adjust to the time change Berlin Opera Performances are an hour earlier on DST Allowed more audience members to catch trains Antarctica They don't need to do it, but they do to be in sync with the rest of the world <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 1.875in;">Oil conservation <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 1.875in;">Countries adopt DST during war because they think it's conserving energy, resources <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 2.25in;">If there wasn't DST, would there be as many wars and for as long?

** 4th Grade ** Basic facts: Change at 2 am on the second Sunday in March then “fall back” first Sunday in November. Socially: - Some people with sleep disorders find the transition very difficult. - Arizona, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico do not follow DST. - The U.S. government (in 20005 and 2007) has extended /changed DST for energy purposes. Cultural: - Daylight savings time gives us summer nights! Some quality songs wouldn’t exist without it… - Changed DST in order to prevent Halloween disaster. Moved to November. Economically: - Saves 10,000 barrels of oil each day in March and April. - Some states, such as California, have lobbied for year-around DST for the sake of energy saving. Globally: - In Europe, begins last Sunday in March and ends last Sunday in October (versus U.S., which is different because of time zones) - Countries have different change dates. - Countries near equator generally do not observe DST. - The majority of African countries (generally, excluding the northern-and-southernmost countries) have never observed DST. Most of the rest observed it previously, but now do not. *Trains have to travel according to DST; they stop for an hour to realign with the clock, or proceed on (spring forward) – all is associated with staying on schedule.

2nd Grade -**Economically**: -increases energy costs, more sunlight during the day so you need more AC -less lights inside and outside -candy companies like it because it allows kids to trick-or-treat later into the night -some AM radio stations benefit from DST because more people listen in the morning and they have rules about when stations can broadcast -if we didn’t have it we would spend more money on light and less money on heat - **Culturally**: -in Israel, ultra orthodox Jews have campaigned against it because they recite prayers early in the morning during some religious month -alcohol being served later at bars -10-13% less crimes during daylight savings -encourages community and social interaction since people are more likely to stay up when it’s light -increased voter turnout because more people go when it’s light after work -**Globally** -minor deviation from Europe -**Socially** -less people hear listen to the radio in the morning so less information would be broadcasted -less opportunities for social interaction after the normal work day

**Social** · In the spring, companies see more workplace injuries becuase workers are more tired - our bodies are wired to stay on standard time · In an experiment with mice, when you alter their day/night cycles, many physiological and behavioral changes take plce, like weight gain, impulsibity, slower thinking. · there are claims that 2007's early start to daylight savings time contributed to global warming · less crime and vehicle accidents · Religious prayers could be said in daylight instead of darkness · Only Western civilizations rely on this, so it would put the world on a more even time schedule · Less likely to spend time shopping · Increase in money spent on electricity because less natural lighting means more electricity use · Meeting times, travel, broadcast times all change productivity of the economy
