“ Fall back ” comes in the spring in Argentina, sometimes even as late as the summer , but this year it is the earliest it has ever been: October 19th. According to La Nación , the clocks will be set back one hour that weekend and the time will stay that way until March of 2009. The change is coming earlier this year as part of an attempt to save energy across the country. Days will seem longer, meaning that people will not turn their lights on as early and should, presumably, use less energy. This program was pushed hard by the Energy Secretary after it was successful in several provinces last year, and was finally approved as a nation wide program by President Cristina Kirchner. For those living in the city, it means the late summer nights that we love are coming a few months earlier this year and will be enjoyed for many months to come.
