An annual reset for our overwhelmed lives. A day where the nation logs off, looks up and reconnects. A government-enforced opportunity to not only build awareness for the grip tech has on us but remind us of what matters in a healthy society:  people, place and presence.","additional_details":"We are an addicted nation. An 18 yr old will spend 25 yrs of their life on a phone. Children spend less time outdoors (<1hr) than inmates. Loneliness, anxiety and polarisation are spiraling and all this before consideration of specific harms: exploitation, radicalisation, misinformation+\r\n\r\nThe UK has fewer bank holidays than almost anywhere in Europe.\r\nOne offline day/ year could provide a critical reset and reminder of what’s important. A day to reconnect with ourselves and our local communities.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2025-09-01T13:49:58.494Z","updated_at":"2025-11-14T17:46:47.113Z","rejected_at":"2025-09-22T15:05:02.166Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-09-01T14:57:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/726031 "},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
