This starts our first effort to discuss books that further our goals
and objectives. Each month we will highlight a new book and hold a
conference call to discuss it.
The first book in our series
is:
Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit
Disorder
by Richard Louv
The discussion will take place on
Wednesday,October 15th at 4:00 PM EST. All are welcome to join in the
conversation. A call in number will be posted (it's below) at least one week before the
call. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. At the end
of the call we will announce the book for the following month, which will
then be posted on the website.
The book club will move off the home
page and have a section of its own, where we will highlight books related to
our issues. This will include books for adults, educators, health care
professionals and children. Link in TakeAction/Programs Menu or Here .

We are now working on a brand new edition of our Organizer's Kit. This will
be the first version to include programs for Turnoff Week for the classroom,
living room and workplace.
In addition to Turnoff Week activities and
information, the new Org Kit will also offer tools for long-term screen-time
reduction. This is part of our effort leading to Wellness in America: from
the Classroom to the Living Room to the Workplace. The new campaign
understands that if we are to make significant changes in our children's
lives, we must make them in our lives as well.
Please let us know what
you think by adding your comments to our Forum Pages.
