I don’t see that happening.”

Why The Sunshine Protection Act Makes the Most Sense

Why The Sunshine Protection Act Makes the Most Sense

Imagine a world where everyone wakes up feeling refreshed every morning. They get up and tackle their daily responsibilities with a renewed sense of energy and enthusiasm, and at the end of the day, they have time to pursue their passions. They go to sleep feeling accomplished and relaxed. This world may sound like a distant fantasy to some, but the Sunshine Protection Act could make it a reality. The Sunshine Protection Act is an act that was passed by the Senate earlier in March of this year, with the goal of making Daylight Saving Time a permanent thing in the U.S.. That would mean springing forward one last time in order to regain the extra hour of daylight we “lose” when we fall back, and then afterwards, never worrying about time changes again. The Sunshine Protection Act would be beneficial for all people as the repercussions of these time changes have detrimental implications on people’s physical and mental well being, that tragically often results in death.

Mauna Loa Volcano Erupts for the First Time Since 1984

Mauna Loa Volcano Erupts for the First Time Since 1984

The world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa, has erupted once again, after almost 40 years since it last made headlines. The eruption began late Sunday night, marking the onset of this momentous occasion. The volcano’s last eruption was in 1984; it had erupted after three years of steadily increased earthquake activity which serves as a warning sign to volcanic eruptions. This time around, the island’s residents had less time to prepare for the eruption, as earthquake activity (which often foreshadows the eruption) only increased a few months ago, as opposed to the prior’s years of activity.
