What Are We Saving Daylight For?

So, where did “daylight saving time” come from? Why does it need saving? 

Basically the first “modern idea” of daylight saving happened in 1895, brought forth by George Vernon Hudson from New Zealand. As an avid insect collector, initially he had proposed a 2-hour shift forward to preserve after-job daylight hours. Many countries have used it since then but many don’t continue daylight saving time today. And many just plainly never have, while others don’t just skip 1 or even 2 hours ahead, but 3! The United States however, officially adopted DST in 1918 with the Standard Time Act of March 19, 1918. On a global scale, it has mainly been used in times of war or energy crises as a way to limit the use or dependency of electricity, coal or other fuel usage. 

Many updates have happened for countries over time. Some have changed start or end dates, and some have increased the number of hours changed. So many controversies have popped including adverse business effects due to conflicting times, etc., biologic concerns, and other sources of irritation…the list goes on and on. 

But after a winter like this (and living in one of the coldest places in the U.S.) it's hard not to appreciate a bit more sunshine and warmth.  

(Seriously, this is us a good 7 months out of the year. Well, this plus -10° F. And -30° F windchills...)

And one last thing... Because I know I always forget – don't forget to change ALL of your clocks, today. (Psst...the microwave!)  -- Kendra -- P.S. Happy International Women's Day!  Ladies, let's show each other (and ourselves) a little love and respect today!
