Daylight saving time has been a staple of the U.S. calendar for the better half of the last century. In March, the Senate unanimously passed the Sunshine Protection Act of 2021. The bill would extend daylight saving time from the usual March to November period to the entire year. If it becomes law, it means the clocks will not change after the spring forward in March 2023. A study published Wednesday in the peer-reviewed journal Current Biology estimated that up to 36,550 deer deaths, 33 human deaths and 2,054 human injuries could be prevented annually by halting the switch from daylight saving to standard time in the autumn. Permanent daylight saving time would allow for more light during peak traffic hours. But for now, daylight saving time remains. Visit the link in bio to learn more.
