Why Daylight Saving?

You rolled back your clock by one hour on November 2nd at 2 am this year. But why? It’s because the daylight saving just ended on that day. Why daylight saving? There are several reasons for this:
• People like it because sunlight is available in the evening of summer. People can enjoy outdoor longer in summer.
• Several studies in the US and UK show that daylight saving reduces traffic accident by nearly 1%.
• Statistics shows that daylight saving reduces the violent crimes by 10% - 13% because evenings are brighter.
• Children’s pedestrian death on the Halloween night before 2007 was 4 times higher than other night. Therefore the daylight saving was extended to the first week of November for safety of trick or treaters in the Halloween.
• Energy conservation: Moving clock a-head one hour reduces energy conservation by 1% per day because as much as 25% of electricity is used for lighting and small appliances. People use more electricity if they are at home in the evening. People plan outdoor activities on longer days of spring and summer and it helps to conserve household electricity.
