Children today would rather read, do housework or even do homework than play outside--- and they get out half as much as their parents did when they were young.  According to a UK study, those growing up during the 1970s and 1980s enjoying more than two hours of outdoor activities each weekday, and nine hours on weekends--whatever the weather is. But their children play outside for just over one hour each weekday, and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays.  So, the UK started an activity to encourage children to give up 30 minutes of screen time a day to play outdoors.  The Wild Network, born on September 25, 2013, is joined by more than 300 organizations, large or small. It tries to attract children away from television and computer screen and into woods and parks.  It is the biggest ever activity to reconnect children with nature and outdoor activities, and it plans to help improve children's health.  Suggestions on how to get more time in nature including collecting fruits, camping, watching autumn colour on trees and so on.  This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were encouraged to do the same by BBC TV show Why Don't You, which encouraged children to "turn off your TV set, and go to do something less boring instead".
