I didn’t realize it was turn off TV week until it was emailed to me (I don’t have a TV, I’m sure there was in depth coverage I missed about it)…
Click. Click. Click-click-click.
That’s the sound of televisions in your neighborhood and around the country being turned off today, the start of TV-Turnoff Week.
For some kids, going seven days without television might sound like the worst kind of punishment. But for others, turning off the tube and finding different things to do is a fun challenge for the entire family.
TV-Turnoff Week started in 1995 as a way to get people thinking about how much time they spend in front of their TV and computer screens, and how that cuts into time spent with other people.
