Day Light Saving Time (DST)

Day light savings time is coming! That said, let us dive into info on the subject. Also some things are pretty cool like, that during daylight savings time the amount of car crashes goes down.

Day light savings time was invented by Benjamen Franklin. It never did anything but he did invent it. George Hudson reinvented Day Light Savings Time. Then in 1917, the Germans and their WWI allies went to day light saving time. The rest of Europe followed. 

On the last Sunday in March, we set our clocks forward one hour. This means that instead of the sun rising at 6:00 it rises at 7:00. The red and orange on the map do not use DST blue does. On the first Sunday in November, we set back the clocks. On this day we have 25 hours.

Daylight savings time is for more time in the evening to relax, or work. Also sports stores have more sales from more sports being played in the afternoon. Also the golf industry has estimated that without daylight savings time there would be a $300,000,000 drop in sales.  DST is not a year round thing because some argue that in the winter children may have to get up, and go to school in the dark.

That is why we use Day Light Savings Time. Hope you enjoyed this more then I did.  It is kinda cool though.
