Daylight Saving Time started in March, requiring people under DST to set their clocks one hour forward at 2:00 am. Those individuals that observe the twice-a-year tradition have already adjusted with the time change. But they need to prepare themselves again as Daylight Saving Time is soon to return this November. Those countries, states, and provinces under DST need to set their clocks one hour backward.
Although Daylight Saving Time has been practiced throughout the years, the debate over the pros and cons of springing forward or falling back continues. Some countries have abolished the twice-a-year tradition. But others are still waiting for their legislation to be approved by Congress. That's why they still need to follow DST even if they are against it.
In the United States, 15 states have already passed legislation. Their goal is to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Some people are in favor of it, while others are against it. Scott Yates, a time activist in Denver, has been pushing to “end the barbarism of changing the clock twice a year.” “With all that’s going wrong in the world, let’s at least make the clocks work,” Yates said.
