[Vision2020] [Vision2020 Digest]: TV Turnoff

[Megan Prusynski]

Here's another TV Turnoff campaign (Adbusters): http:// 
www.adbusters.org/metas/psycho/tvturnoff/

Every week is a TV off week at my house as well, although we do rent  
a movie or documentary on occasion. I'm busy enough, don't even have  
time for TV, and I'm not much of a fan of passive entertainment... :)

Have a good weekend everyone! :)
