10:10 campaign: keep BST all the year round

There's a green reason to go for this:
"'We need better alignment with the way people spend their time,' Dr Garnsey said. 'At 4.30am on 21 June most people will still be asleep – that's an average of three hours' wasted daylight.'

Garnsey said that, compared with other measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency and renewable technology, changing the clocks would be extremely cheap.

She said: 'Advancing the clocks would be a one-off administrative change and would save energy in all succeeding years. Many ways of reducing carbon emissions inevitably need investment in new infrastructure, none of which are required to advance the clocks.'"
