Making the world a greener place : Grow your own vegetables

United States
When you think of Washington, you might not think of vegetable patches, but there are lots of them. "Community plots'' wherepeople can grow their own food are getting more popular. Brian Wallis, who works in banking, like gardening in his free time. And he's not alone. "When you work in the city, gardening is a great way to relax'', he says
Australia
Outside Sydney there are more than fifty community gardens. In the garden at the Addison Road Centre people grow all kinds of things, from bananas to coffee, herbs , beans and vegetables. They also have lemon, peach and cherry trees. People come here to learn new skills related to organic gardening and recycling
Kenya
In Kenya having a piêc of land to grow food on is not just a good way to relax it's a way to earn some extra money. Maxwell shares the land his father gave him with his 6 brothers. They grow bananas, coffee and sugar on the land, as well as vegetables to eat at home. "Some as the food we eat ourselves'', he says, "and some we sell at the market"
Russia
Every weekend in the summer, the roads of Russia's big cities are full of traffic, with families escaping to their "dacha". A "dacha" can be anything from an old shed in a field to a huge house in the countryside, but the reason they go is the same. people from the city can enjoy the clean ải and grow vegetables. Tatiana, who has a plot near the Black Sea, grows tomatoes and cucumbers in the summer and cabbages in the winter. "It always tastes much better when you grow it yourself", she says
