Spit-up On My Shoulder

Yes, it’s TV Turnoff Week. The fact that Earth Day (the 22nd) falls during TV Turnoff Week (April 21-27) is an added bonus. There are many ways turning off the TV helps the planet:

Less electricity used.

Less exposure to consumer ads which leads to unnecessary purchases that use up resources.

More time to enjoy nature.

More time to do something to save the planet like plant a tree or clean up a park.

Every year my family participates in TV Turnoff Week, and I remember how nice it is to have more time to sleep, read, exercise, and enjoy friends. Give it a try–you just might like it!
