title: How to change default timezone for Active Record in Rails?
body: <p>In my <code>application.rb</code> I came across the following comment</p>
  
  <pre><code># Set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record auto-convert to this zone.
  # Run "rake -D time" for a list of tasks for finding time zone names. Default is UTC.
   config.time_zone = 'Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you see from above, I've made <code>config.time_zone</code> to EST time.  However, still when records are created in the DB, it looks like <code>datetime</code> is being stored in UTC format.</p>
  
  <p>In the above comment, they say </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>...and make Active Record auto-convert to this zone...</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can I do that, and where?</p>
  
  <p>Also, I'll be deploying this on heroku as well and i'd like the setting to carry over</p>
