Unplug America

Unplug America

The "Unplug America - Give Mother Earth a Rest Day" tradition was started in 1992 by 'Indigenous Peoples' and is observed on October 13 each year. It is a day to live simply and 'off grid', enjoy the nature around you and breathe fresh air. Unplug your TV, computers... and take a walk. The campaign focuses primarily on America because of massively high per capita consumption in the US.
