Lab #8: Cave Diving

So I'm actually pretty scared of Cave Diving. 

And with good reason, since about 10 out of every 1000 people who go cave diving die there. Also its probably cold. 

But that doesn't mean I cant appreciate these beautiful rock formations:

LOOK AT THAT NONSENSE. I CANT TELL WHICH WAY IS UP.

 

I like this picture because you can see the clear lines in the sedimentary rock. It looks like what would happen if the Arizona Sandstone Swirl flooded.

Lab #7:Community Gardens

I personally think there is no argument about whether or not we should have community gardens. 

Its a brilliant idea. Especially for urban or impoverished areas. Or impoverished urban areas. 

Just look at this beauty:

It used to be a parking lot! Now its a great place to 

a) encourage the youths to get outside!

b) teach people about making healthy choices

c) teach people to grow thier own food

d) teach about sustainability

e) encourage interaction between generations

f) provide a beautiful contrast from the busy busy city!

ALSO ITS REALLY PRETTY. 

However, concerns about the contents of the soil are well founded, especially in cities! Thank goodness some genius came up with these:

SO PRETTY. 

SO INVENTIVE. 

YES. 

In short: Community gardens are awesome. They provide opportunities that people might no get otherwise. Also: food.
