A message from the White Dot International Campaign Against Television
The average American watches 4.5 hours of television every day.You sleep for eight hours. You get up and work for eight hours. Come home, eat some dinner and turn on the television. A few hours later you’re getting sleepy. Time for bed.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING??
We’re not kidding. All those things you wanted to have in your life: passion, romance, love, childhood, parenthood, adventure? when are you going to do all that?

You’re only going to live for 75 years, if you’re lucky. How much time do you have left? Enough to spend one whole day every week with fake friends, watching their imitation lives instead of living your own?
TV doesn’t give you experiences, it takes them away!
On your deathbed, what if someone could give you back those ten years of television? What if they said you could have another ten years to be with the people you love, find new people, do things differently. What would you say?
Check out the FAQ’s- they are a riot!
