Yes, I am using the word ‘Savings’ ironically. If you set a dollar aside in the morning and then put it back in your wallet later, did you just save a dollar? Answer—No. You just moved it around.
It’s bad enough that the last quarter of the year has so few hours of daylight. But I feel we exacerbate the problem by turning our clocks back an hour. Does it really need to be dark before 6 pm? I think not. I would gladly drive to work in the dark if it meant an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day. There is nothing more depressing than driving home at sundown and spending the rest of the evening indoors because it’s too dark to be outside.
