Turn Off Your TV Week 2008
Not only is next week Earth Week, but it's also Turn Off Your TV Week, sponsored by the Center for Screen Time Awareness. From Monday, April 21st to the following Sunday, the 27th, unplug that box! According to the Center, technically, you should really turn off all screens to get the max effect, including video games and computers.The campaign is aimed at families and children, but there's no reason adults can't give it a try too!
I'm not sure I'd be up for going screen-free in the winter, but in the spring, might be worth a shot. Even if it's not something you want to do for the rest of your life, it might be fun to challenge yourself to see if you can do it for a week anyway.
