Europe countries, North America, Australia and

New Zealand operates a system of daylight saving

time. Clocks advanced by one hour in the spring (i.e.

6 PM became 7 PM).  This gives people more light in

the evening at a time of year when there is all ready

enough light in the morning. The both advantages are

economic and social: less electricity is need for

lighting, and more outdoor activitiescan enjoy. In the

autumn the clocks are put back, the evening suddenly

gets darker, and everyone look forward to the spring.
