I certainly think a good start would to encourage parents to stop using machines as a replacement. My neighbourhood used to be full of kids biking around, exploring, having fun, building hideouts, etc. Now they are all sat in front of the X-Box or the idiot box.

This may sounds harsh and generalised, but I think a lot of it's down to lazy parenting, and the fact that parents work so much they don't actually have time!
