This week I did not get around to reading my book. I did read an interesting article about daylight savings time. While discussing daylight savings time with some friends, I found out that not every country does this. This whole time I have always though it was something that was world wide. It turns out that only the European Union a d about 35 other countries participate. DST started in 1966 in the United States. There are many countries that have used DST and stopped using it as well. Each year there are new countries that use DST. I am amazed that it is something that is not used everywhere.
