Advocacy Activities for 5/6 from Valenza

Monday - Watch any of these Ted talks about “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” to get inspired.  

Tuesday - Head to Mrs. Valenza’s Staff profile page to hear her reading from Our Only World by Wendell Berry.  

Wednesday - It has been hard to not be able to go where you want, see who you want, when you want. Today make a list, journal, or draw a picture about all the places you want to visit once the “Stay at home” order has been lifted. Hopefully this will keep your spirits lifted and remind you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Share your list with someone you trust.  

                For Mrs. Valenza, she wants to go camping in Moab, have a picnic at Chautauqua, and buy a plane ticket to go see humpack whales in Hawaii.  

Thursday – Today, go outside! Here are a few ideas: You could build a bee water station -->  https://carolinahoneybees.com/diy-bee-waterer/ 

Add some pollinator plants to your yard or porch. Call your local nursery to see if they have any of these plants --> https://resourcecentral.org/5-plants-for-your-colorado-pollinator-garden/ 

Have a picnic outside.  

Just sit on your porch and watch the world pass by.
