(Ed. Note: Tokyo native Manatsu Ueno is preparing to graduate from the University of Oklahoma with a lot on her mind. Mana, as her fellow students call her, is in love with the natural world and was pleased to serve on the campus Green Week committee. Covid-19 put the brakes on Green Week. In fact the virus has slowed down the world in many ways, and Mana thinks Mother Nature is enjoying the respite.)
