May 4 - 10, 2015 is the National Turn Off TV Week. The purpose of this week is to re-think the role of television, why we use it and how and what for. This is in addition to assessing its impact on students, teachers, parents, children, individuals, etc. The nonprofit organization TV-Free America asks that you use this week to reassess the role TV lays in your daily lives as entertainer, pacifier, babysitter, time filler and background noise. There is a very easy way to participate in Turn Off TV Week, simply switch off or unplug your TV set for seven days and engage in a wide range of substitute activities. We have included a list of activities that not only supports Turn Off TV Week, but also provides ideas and activities that do not use electricity and are “green”.

• Instead of driving in your car for neighborhood errands, go for a bike ride and save money on gas.

• Instead of playing video games, play a board game with the family, saving electricity and energy as well as creating family unity.

• Instead of getting on the computer, read a good (used or library) book saving electricity and energy.

• Instead of watching Animal Planet on TV, take a trip to the Zoo.

• Instead of watching TV, go out into your community and volunteer! There are many great organizations that support “living green”.

MAY - Turn off TV Week

Throw on eco-friendly threads – Organic cotton is breathable, absorbent and available in everything from sports bras to socks.

Eco Yoga – Green up your downward dog with a biodegradable yoga mat.

Make your own energy bars – Dump wasteful packaging and worrying about additives, and save a little money! Fuel up with homemade recipes. Buy in bulk or mix your own sports drinks too. Visit http://www.recumbent-bikes-truth-for-you.com/recipes.html to find a recipe.

BYO Bottle – More than 60 million disposable bottles end up in trash heaps every day. Help cut down on that enormous pile of plastic by re-using. Or even better, dump the bottle and find a stainless steel water bottle, one made with polycarbonate, or any plastic that is BPA Free.

Reduce your carbon footprint by making a few of your own – Instead of driving to the gym, run or walk there for a great (cheap) warm-up. If the gym’s too far, try biking or carpooling. Keep your workout clothes in the car to cut down on extra stops and gas.

Take it to the streets – What’s more green than the great outdoors? With hills and wind providing resistance running and walking on the road can burn more calories than a treadmill. Other activities such as kayaking, hiking and rock climbing can help fend off workout boredom.

Disconnect – Go unplugged. A balance ball, resistance band, and glider plates can give you an excellent all-around workout – and you can take them anywhere. Plus, using your body instead of a machine for resistance is oh-so green.

Recycle: it’s good for your soles – As the miles add up, so does the war on your favorite cross-trainers. There are many businesses (including Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe) that repurpose worn-out athletic shoes of any brand into sports courts, tracks, and flooring.
