plants on the houses or tall buildings? Cities
call it concrete
jungles
（水泥丛

or green roofs. In many

Green roofs are great to look at
and
great for the environment. They also give people
fresh food and help people make more money.
Now roof gardens are becoming popular
in New York City. Some people plant fruit and
vegetables on
the roof, like tomatoes,
eggplants, green peppers and watemelons.
“
I water my vegetables every
morning and sell them in the aftermoon, so they
are very fresh,
”
said Zaba,
a shopkeeper in New York. In fact, he
started planting fruit and vegetables on the roof
15 years ago. Half the
food in his shop
comes from his roof garden.
Some people
even keep bees on their roofs. Kurt has 250 boxes
of bees. He says the little bees are good
for
cities.
They
can
not
only
pollnate
plants,
but
also
clean
