TV-Turnoff Week

Break Free of TV April 23–29, 2007

Empowering People to Take Control of Technology

Do you watch more than four hours of television a day (the average for U.S. viewers)? That's the equivalent of sitting in front of a TV set for two months straight!

What would happen if you or your children didn’t watch television for a week? What would you do with the extra hours?

Find out by joining others around the country in TV-Turnoff Week – April 23-29.

Check the TV-Turnoff Network Web site for more information and classroom ideas. And consider writing about your experiences in the annual essay contest—entries are due May 30, 2007. (There's a poster contest too!)
