America Needs Dirt’ And Cal Ripken Want You to Go Outside

In an offbeat campaign, a cause called America Needs Dirt compels us to get off our asses and get outside. Claiming Americans spend over 90 percent of their time indoors, six hours shopping and only 40 minutes per week playing with our kids. That’s sad. So baseball legend Cal Ripken Jr. has teamed with America Needs Dirt to tell us to turn the TV off, turn the computer off, and get outside and roll around in the dirt. Spoof or not, it’s a noble cause.

Of course to promote their cause they want you to sit down at your computer and pass a link on to your friends.
