Join The Great TV Rebellion of 2010!

Calling all kids, parents, and teachers! The Biomimicry Institute invites you to join The Great TV Rebellion of 2010 by pledging to turn off your television and turn on nature. Our goal is for 5,000 people across the country to turn off their electronic devices (like TVs, computers, and video games) and go outside to play, learn, and interact with nature during Earth Week -- April 19-25, 2010.

Kids: Take the pledge and then download The Great TV Rebellion Nature Journal. It will give you cool ideas of things to do outside during Earth Week, and has plenty of space to write about the fun things you did and saw. Once you’re done, share your stories with us!

Parents and Teachers: Take the pledge and then download The Great TV Rebellion Workbook. This guide contains suggested activities you can do with your kids or students during Earth Week, and interesting facts about biomimicry and nature.

The idea for the event is based on the song “The Great TV Rebellion,” written by Amy Martin and performed by Grammy Award winner Ani DiFranco and the Missoula Coyote Choir, a collection of children from Missoula, Montana.  The song can be found on the album Ask the Planet, a project of The Biomimicry Institute.

Here’s what you can do:

1.    If you haven’t done so already, sign The Great TV Rebellion pledge, then download our activity workbook and nature journal for fun ideas of what to do outside while the TV is off.

2.    Send an email to friends, family, and colleagues asking them to join the Rebellion.

3.    Send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper explaining why The Great TV Rebellion is important to you. We have a sample letter written from a kid’s perspective that you can use as a guide.

4.    Explore the outdoors then tell us about it! When you or your kids submit your nature stories on our website, you’ll be entered for the chance to win cool gear from our partner Pacific Outdoor Equipment.

5.    Listen to “The Great TV Rebellion” and other songs about re-connecting with nature on the award winning children’s CD Ask the Planet.

The best way to honor the 40th anniversary of Earth Week is to turn off the TV and turn on nature. So get outside and have fun!
