Cousin Oskaar about daylight saving


Daylight saving is not getting an extra hour of daylight, it's about changing the time so the sun comes up 60 minutes later and goes down 60 minutes later... this results in less energy consumption as we turn on the lights an hour later... and we can play a bit longer outside in the evening; going to the beach, having a picnic at the river or whatever, the sun sets at a convenient time of around 8pm in a summer with daylight saving.
Except for the morning people they prefer the early morning for the beach and go to bed at 7pm when the sun goes down without daylight saving...
