Don’t forget to Spring forward this weekend.
Did you know?
Benjamin Franklin first suggested Daylight Saving Time in 1784 to conserve lamp oil. But, it was not until World War I that it was adopted by several counties in Europe that initially rejected the idea.
In case you hadn’t noticed over the last two years, Daylight Savings Time now begins earlier and runs longer. The extra time that we enjoy is actually the result of the Energy Policy Act, which President Bush signed into law in 2005 and went into effect in 2007. The Act changed the start date of Daylight Savings Time to the second Sunday in March – three weeks earlier. It also moved the end date out one week to the first Sunday in November.
