Spring Forward and Fall Back
Each year we hear the same questions When do we change
the clocks, and which way do we move them? Daylight
Saving Time begins the first Sunday in April and ends the
last Sunday in October We move the clocks ahead one hour
in the spring and back one hour in the fall, hence the popular
adage, "Spring forward and fall back " The official time of
the change is always 2am Ben Franklin is credited with first
suggesting the idea in a 1784 essay, but it was not implement
~ ed until this century During times of
crisis and war, many countries use year
round deviations from standard lime
Nowadays, adjusting clock time to take
advantage of summertime daylight
hours is common throughout the world.
Counting time is not so important
taking time count.

I« natural-fiber clothing “bet
ter” than synthetic clothing?
Most man-made fibers are pe
troleum based, consuming non
renewable resources and re
quiring high-energy and often
polluting processing. However,
cotton, a great natural alterna
tive, is also one of the most pes
ticide intensive crops in the
world. Luckily, organic cotton
is beginning to appear in stores
and catalogs. Although it's just
beginning to make an impact, if
we support this fledgling
industry, availability
will increase and prices
will drop. That’s good
for us and the Earth
