2018 Daylight Savings
During 2018, daylight saving time is in effect from March 13, 2018 at 2 a.m. (local time) to November 6, 2018 at 2 a.m. (local time). Daylight saving time is often incorrectly referred to as “daylight savings time”. In some countries, it is also called “summer time”. When DST is not observed, it is called standard time, normal time or winter time.
This list displays a brief (but not complete) overview over which countries and territories that plan to observe DST during . Note that the list might not be final - countries, territories and states sometimes make adjustments that are announced just days or weeks ahead of the change. Detailed information is available for the first half of 2018 and the second half of 2018.

Fall Back 2018
Fall Back 2018. If the shift to Daylight Saving Time left you groggy, grumpy or confused, take heart: 2018 could be the last time Coloradans change their clocks. Lakewood couple Sean and Teri Johnson are gathering signatures for a ballot initiative that, if passed in 2018, would put the state on Mountain Daylight Time year round. It’s far from unprecedented.
After summertime daylight saving failed to stick nationally after implementation in World War I, the entire country went on DST for more than three straight years during World War II. An energy crisis in 1970s resulted in 10 months of federally mandated daylight saving and led to the modern approach to time change.
Not everyone is sold on the twice-a-year time shift. In addition to a host of countries that never adopted the system, quite a few have since ended the practice, and some states don’t play.
U.S. Department of Energy report supports the idea that Daylight Saving Time reduces energy consumption, but a study conducted in California around the same time found negligible benefits. One in Indiana actually indicated increased consumption.
Steve Casey, manager of member services at Holy Cross Energy, said any local effects of time change on the electrical grid are drowned out by seasonal cycles of heating and lighting. He sees better ways to reduce energy usage than fooling with the clock.
“If you could change out all our incandescent bulbs for energy-efficient ones, I think you’d see a big difference,” he said.
When it comes to health, Johnson said, the issues are with actual changeover, not DST itself.
The adjustment undermines circadian rhythms which govern sleep cycles, and several studies have recorded higher rates of heart attack and suicide after the spring time change. The trend is generally short-lived and is less pronounced in the fall.
Claims about traffic accidents follow a similar pattern, with studies showing an increase in incidents right around the time change and a reduction in fatalities once people adjust.
Perhaps the most debated element in a state that relies heavily on tourism are the potential economic impacts.

Spring Forward 2018
Spring Forward 2018 is an event to celebrate the gardening community. We invite you to join us, Saturday, March 12, 2018 for an afternoon of fellowship, education and socializing. Guest speakers Joe Lamp'l Growing a Greener World and Roger Swain of PBS Victory Garden, will offer an afternoon of unique views of our communities. The ticket / sponsor packages also include a menu dinner served by our host, Teibel's Family Restaurant in Schererville, Indiana.
Joe Lamp’l, Growing a Greener World, has a nationwide audience who has watched him as host of the popular series, Fresh from the Garden on DIY Network and GardenSMART on PBS. As one of the country’s most recognized and trusted personalities in gardening and sustainability, today, he combines his national television experience and expertise of gardening, environmental stewardship and passion for living a more eco-friendly life, as host and producer of Growing a Greener World on public television. Joe also shares his know-how on NBC’s TODAY SHOW, ABC’s Good Morning America, The Weather Channel and more.
Off-camera, he is founder & CEO of The Joe Gardener® Company, devoted to environmentally responsible gardening and sustainable outdoor living. Joe is deeply committed to “growing a greener world” through his popular books, blog and podcast series, nationally syndicated newspaper column, and regular contributions to popular magazines and social media networks.

What time is it?
What time is it? A day when people of various countries and states across the world set their clocks one hour a head of the standard time. The practice was first introduced in Europe during the First World War. The idea was to take advantage of the longest summer days by gaining an extra hour of daylight and shortening the days in winter. It was not a new concept, back in 1784 American inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin suggested that starting the day earlier in summer will save a considerable number of candles. Those in favor of practice same today's energy consuming society the environmental benefits links to changing a clock on considerable or of a small amount of electricity as save per household added up they can be significant.
Most of the US, Canada and Mexico's northern border cities will end Daylight Saving Time at 2am local time on November 06, 2018. The clocks will "fall back" an hour to standard time, meaning brighter mornings but darker evenings for most Americans.

When is Daylight Saving?
Most of the US, Canada and Mexico's northern border cities will start Daylight Saving Time (DST) at 2 am (02:00) local time on March 13, 2018. The clocks will "spring forward" (by shifting the clock forward) an hour to daylight time, so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. The most of Europe will start DST on the last Sunday in March. Most of North America shifts at 02:00 local time, so its zones do not shift at the same time; for example, Mountain Time can be temporarily either zero or two hours ahead of Pacific Time.
Daylight saving time - also summer time in several countries - is the practice of advancing clocks so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn. The modern idea of daylight saving was first implemented during the First World War. Many countries have used it at various times since then.
The practice has been both praised and criticized. Adding daylight to evenings benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours, but can cause problems for evening entertainment and other occupations tied to the sun. Although an early goal of DST was to reduce evening usage of incandescent lighting, formerly a primary use of electricity, modern heating and cooling usage patterns differ greatly, and research about how Daylight Saving Time currently affects energy use is limited or contradictory.
Starting in 2007, most of the United States and Canada observe DST from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, almost two-thirds of the year. The 2007 US change was part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005; previously, from 1987 through 2006, the start and end dates were the first Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October, and Congress retains the right to go back to the previous dates now that an energy-consumption study has been done.
