TV Zombies at 2

Worried about the future? The new Nielsen ratings out today gives us plenty of reason to be concerned. TV use by 2-11 year olds is at an 8-year high. Kids 2-5 now spend 32 hours a week on average in front of a TV screen. Check it out at http://bit.ly/11ibO6.

Outdoor time is becoming an endangered species, followed closely behind by a declining appreciate for nature. No appreciation, no passion to protect it. That's a big problem for the future of conservation. Nature deficit isn't just a clever term -- it's an epidemic. Do something today to get a kid outside. It'll be good for you too.
