Time to fall back1On November 3, we’ll turn our clocks back one hour thus removing ourselves from daylight saving time (DST). The concept of DST is simple: save energy and make better use of daylight. It was first used in Thunder Bay, Canada, in 1908 but became popular after Germany adopted it in 1916. There’s some debate, like a lot of our daily practices, as to who originated the idea of DST. Some claim it to be Ben Franklin, he of the kite, thunderstorm and electricity experiment. 1784 is often thought to be the year Ben had the idea. Others cite the Romans as the first to conceptualize and utilize the idea. Who knows really?! Today over 70 countries worldwide use DST. https://armuni.org/3BFNUry
