Center for Screen-Time Awareness

Description

From the website: Center for Screen-Time Awareness (CSTA), formerly TV-Turnoff Network and in an early incarnation TV-Free America, is an international nonprofit organization, providing tools for people to live healthier lives in functional families and vibrant communities by taking control of the electronic media in their lives and not allowing it to control them.

Founded in 1994 by Henry Labalme and Matt Pawa as an environmental organization, CSTA has grown into an agency dealing with diverse issues including obesity, illiteracy, violence and the impact electronic media has on our lives. The organization is dedicated to making information available and putting you in charge of the “electronic tools” so you can use them in ways that enhance your quality of life. 

CSTA has helped millions of people do just that. Our primary programs, Universal Screen-Time Reduction; A lifestyle for the 21st Century and Turnoff Week (formerly TV-Turnoff Week) are keys to the organization’s success.  These programs put the power in your hands so you can protect your family, helping you make the best decision possible, with the best information available.
