Every year, during the last week in April, people are invited to turn off their TVs
for a week and to do something more useful. Since 1995, TV Turnoff Week has
been organised by anti-TV campaigners in the USA and in the UK. Organisers
believe that 24 million people have given up television for a week and that
afterwards 80 per cent of them watched less TV and about 20 per cent stopped
watching television completely.
