Acres of Vegetables

In ancient Phoenicia, about 12,000 shellfish
were utilized for their dye just to create one
item of clothing. Always take a shower or b-
ath before putting on clean clothes. HAH-H-
AH-HAH!

In 2007, the African Union found an inventi-
ve way to prevent the desert from spreadi-
ng. Several countries from Senegal to Dj-
ibouti are sincerely involved in planting lo-
ts of seedlings (millions of them).

They're hoping that those produce 4,750
miles (7,600 km) of acres of vegetables.
Yes, they definitely want that vast, color-
ful land to become a nature reserve of lo-
ng-lasting resources. Communities will a-
ppreciate that entire area.
