Description

A couch potato believes it can live life sitting on a sofa in front of a wall of screens—that is until the power goes out and forces the couch potato to play outside. Being in nature reminds the couch potato that fresh air, exercise, and human interaction are basic needs. When the couch potato returns home, it commits to living a more balanced lifestyle.
