Urban Gardens

Every day, the urban sprawl in America grows farther outwards. Rural farms disappear. American farmers lose their lands to banks and businesses. Food prices around the world are rising steadily. What can people do to get fresh vegetables when the nearest countryside is miles away?
The answer is to plant urban gardens. Urban gardening is a new trend in megacities like New York, Chicago, and other big cities around the globe. Many of these cities have started programs to help gardeners. People are welcome to grow herbs and vegetables on balconies and roofs, vacant lots, abandoned yards, and even on the shoulders of highways. With a little thought, any city dweller can think of an area of land on which to grow a garden.
Gardeners must be careful because, in a city, chemicals can contaminate the land. To help with this, cities are beginning to test the soil for free. It is important that more cities around the world turn to green programs to make cities more eco-friendly. As citizens begin to grow more and more gardens around the globe, environments will become more stable and less hazardous. Gardens will return more oxygen into the air and will lower greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Urban gardening groups have begun to petition city governments to begin more green programs to assist the gardening movement.
Think about how many rooftops are in a city. Skyscrapers have large, flat roofs. Urban gardeners use these roofs to construct large planters for vegetables, grass, trees, and shrubs. All of these roofs are built to allow water to run off their surfaces. This means that irrigation for crops is not a problem. These rooftop gardens make cities greener and more fertile. They also help the environment by refreshing the air and by reducing smog and effects to the ozone layer. One element that the urban gardening movement needs more than anything else is loyal members. As an interested reader, look into joining a local gardening group or inquire at your city office about starting a group on your own. Imagine how delicious a meal grown from your own garden would taste!

Answer 7

Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate

Milk chocolate and dark chocolate are made from the cacao bean. Cacao trees, which are native to Central America, grow pods. Each pod can contain approximately 20-60 cacao beans. The cacao beans are harvested, fermented, and dried. The beans are then cleaned and roasted. Once this processing is complete, the product has many uses. For example, the beans can be crushed and combined with sugar. That mixture can then be formed into chocolate bars.
Dark chocolate contains a higher percentage of pure cacao than milk chocolate. Some studies have shown that consumption of cacao can benefit blood pressure and cholesterol. _______, dark chocolate is considered a healthier form of chocolate. Dark chocolate usually contains sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, and sometimes vanilla.
Milk chocolate contains the same ingredients as dark chocolate. However, milk chocolate also contains milk. The addition of milk makes milk chocolate sweeter and gives it a smoother, creamier texture than dark chocolate. This also explains why milk chocolate is lighter in color than dark chocolate.
However, many chocolate lovers strongly prefer one or the other even though the differences are slight. People prefer one over the other for different reasons. People who prefer milk chocolate tend to enjoy its sweeter, creamier taste. People who prefer dark chocolate enjoy its stronger flavor. Those who eat dark chocolate also appreciate the health benefits.

Answer 25

Everyone in the conference feared playing the Samuel Middle School Huskies because of their fearsome halfback Dekwon Johnson. Dekwon was a monster on the field, and not one team had been able to keep him out of the end zone all season long. Dekwon was everyone’s pick for player of the year in the conference.
There are no guarantees, however, in the championship game, and Hobbes Middle School was not planning to make things any easier for Dekwon and the Samuel offense. The Hobbes defensive line was a brick wall. Only four touchdowns had been scored against them all season, and they had shut out six different teams. No doubt about it, the championship game was going to be epic.
