TV turn off Week April 19-25, 2010


This week is National TV Turn Off Week and we are wanting to know what YOU are doing rather than watching TV...  Did you know that most kids watch 3 hours of TV a day?
Kids spend more time in front of the TV each year than they do in school!  Yikes!  That is hard to believe (well not really, my kids are guilty of it, and I am constantly going around turning the TV off in rooms where no one is watching it)
TV's consumer a large amount of electric, and you would be surprised how much money could be saved by just not using your TV set, really!  I would not kid about this at all...

SO..... What are you doing in place of watching TV this week?  Or any week - You don't have to celebrate TV turn off on just this specific time, you can do it anytime!  Spend some time with your family - Go outside - The weather is beautiful!  Tell us what you are doing rather than watching TV, and playing video games!  Simply submit a comment below and let everyone know your plans for keeping the "Tube" turned off this week.  We love hearing what you have to share!

  1. Attend the Science Fair at Catoctin his Wednesday night and learn about "Lemon powered batteries" from my daughter! She will be there!

    Visit the zoo, or Baltimore Aqaurium, Udvar Hazy Air and Space Museum or any of the other local attractions in D.C. - they are all close by, and require little travel time to get there! Post your comments and get the conversation going!
