    Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland have come up with a new idea called the Power of 32. What it is is a way to increase futurist ideas across 32 counties and is calling all citizens to participate. After listening to you talk about the utilization of other citizens ideas for the bus stop in class on Tuesday, I realized that getting ideas from EVERYONE is the best way to come up with a great vision for the future.

    This is an article about growing trees in the desert, trying to expand our shrinking world.
    There is a large concern about our ever growing deserts and the shrinking of our usable land area.
