Conserving energy through daylight savings time and renewable energy jobs
 If you enjoy long summer evenings, an Englishman by the name of William Willett deserves your thanks. Willett proposed the idea of Daylight Savings Time in 1907 under the pretense that Daylight Saving Time would allow more time for outdoor activities in the summer afternoon. Daylight Savings Time was first put into place by Germany and Austria on April 30, 1916, in order to conserve the fuel needed to produce electric power during the war. The United States later adopted Daylight Savings Time in March of 1918. Despite some opposition, there are still many advantages of Daylight Savings Time, which include helping the economy through retail and sporting events and increasing public safety by lowering traffic fatalities. However, one of the most important benefits of Daylight Savings Time is energy conservation. In fact, in the year 2007, Daylight Savings Time was extended by one month as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Daylight Savings Time 2009 begins on March 8, the first Sunday of March, and ends on November 1, the first Sunday of November.
In recognition of the history behind Daylight Savings Time, take a look at the renewable energy, sustainable energy and energy efficiency jobs available in the following industries:
