SUSAN Tenner

I will connect with at least 1 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.

I will honor the first days of spring by documenting, either by video or writing about a change in the scenery outside my window. This could be birds nesting, flowers blooming, etc.

I will replace 20 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside that follows CDC guidelines for preventing disease spread.

Create a #forclimate Tik Tok and use the hashtag #bugsbrooklyn

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

Find an unexpected public place that you can plant flowers seeds in and water over a period of time. Possible locations could be a vacant lot, a median strip, a public park, windowsill, rooftop, balcony, street tree pit etc... D O C U M E N T A T I O N > Take a series of three photos showing: 1) The garden location before you planted the seeds 2) A photo of the flower plants while they are growing, and 3) A photo of the plants after they have bloomed.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area while following CDC guidelines for social distancing.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.
