Get Ready to Spring Forward!
Daylight Saving Time is Almost Here
Every spring we move our clocks one hour ahead and lose an hour during the night, and every fall we move our clocks back an hour and gain an extra hour. Hence the term "Spring forward, Fall Back", which is said to help people remember how Daylight Saving Time will affect their clocks.
The U.S. government passed the Energy Policy Act in 2005, which extends Daylight Saving Time by four weeks. The Act is expected to save at least 10,000 barrels of oil each day due to the reduction of power used by businesses during daylight hours. This change to Daylight Saving Time allows for us to use less energy in our homes by taking the advantage of longer daylight hours.
