Today marks the start of TV-Turnoff Week 2007 (April 23rd - 29th).

I'm just sayin'...

As one whose family turned off the television in our home for the entire year of 2006, I'm telling you, for one week, you CAN do this--and you'll be surprised at the difference it will make in your life. And I'm talking about positve effects.

Besides, now that Sanjaya's been booted off American Idol, turning off the tube this week should be all the more easier!

Here are some "screen-free" activities with which you can amuse yourself in lieu of channel surfing. When's the last time you made a friendship bracelet, huh?

For encouraging children and adults to watch less television and in turn promote healthier lives and communities, TV-Turnoff Network, you've just been added to The Thanks Ranks.
