| | Dear Friend, Did you know that America's kids spend only four to seven minutes outside per day? In fact, by the time most children go to kindergarten, they have spent more than 5,000 hours in front of a television – enough time to earn a college degree! This weekend, you can help reverse these worrisome trends simply by using your extra hour of sunlight to go outside! Click here for a list of ways you and your kids can unplug this weekend.
Then, be sure to take the Be Out There Pledge indicating that you will make outdoor play a healthy habit for your kids. It will take less than a minute—and you'll receive fun tips and interactive tools to inspire you and your family to Be Out There all year long! Sincerely, 
Rebecca Garland
