Daylight Saviings Time is here Again !

Just as sunflowers turn their heads to catch every sunbeam, so too have we discovered a simple way to get more from our sun.
Daylight Saving Time gives us the opportunity to enjoy sunny summer evenings by moving our clocks an hour forward in the spring.
Yet, the implementation of Daylight Saving Time has been fraught with controversy since Benjamin Franklin conceived of the idea. Even today, regions and countries routinely change their approaches to Daylight Saving Time. Some Folks have a difficult time getting used to the change. While other folks can't wait for the change so they will have more daylight in the afternoon for enjoying the outdoors.
This year in the United States the clocks jumped foreward at 2 AM on March 8th. No matter how you feel about this time change....one thing is for sure...we may as well make the best of it and enjoy it! Since you have that extra hour, put it to good use and come on out to Dunnavant Square. You will be glad you did !

Where Will You be When the Lights Go Out ?

Have you heard about Earth Hour?

Get Ready To...Turn out and Take action.
Be part of this historic event.March 28, 2009, 8:30 pm local time..
World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses, governments and organizations around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour – to make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.

EARTH HOUR - THE NEW BLACK: Says Clinton Kelly from TLC's What Not To Wear: "Earth Hour represents a new way of thinking that we, as shared users of a common planet, must adopt if we have any intention of ensuring a healthy environment for generations to come. It's about conscious thought. First, think about how much energy you really need. Then you'll realize how much you waste. Then, just stop wasting it. It's as simple as that."

For more information and how you can help make a difference visit the link below. Keep checking my blog. I will give you up dates as the hour approaches.

Wherever you happen to be in the world on March 28th at 8:30 p.m., you're likely to find a city or community somewhere nearby that is making plans to turn out the lights for Earth Hour. With less than six weeks to go, more than 500 cities around the world have officially agreed to go dark in support of global action
