It is an event where children, families and schools are encouraged to turn off their TVs, computers, DVD players, iPads and so on and “turn on life” read, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends.After the first week, Meghan decided to test herself further. “I wanted to see how long I could go without TV,” said Meghan. “Could I do it for a year?” The answer was yes!Although sometimes she misses TV, Meghan finds life without TV more interesting.
