It's Turn Off Week...

Well, Pam, we missed Turn Off Week. Actually, it is taking place as we speak, April 20-26. My TV has been off all week so far, granted it's hardly ever on.

Let's give it another shot in September. Five months is plenty of time to organize a state-wide-effort.

According to the Center for Screentime Awareness:
"Turning off the screen gives us time to think, read, create, and do the things we never have time for. This allows us to connect with our families and engage in our communities. We feel good about ourselves as we grow more physically and mentally active. "

Also,
"Turnoff Week Works!According to hundreds of responses to our Turnoff Week follow-up surveys, 90 percent of responding participants reduced their screen time as a result of participating. "
