Green City is a new project in my hometown. The government plans to plant one million trees and build more parks. By 2030, they hope the air will be much cleaner. Many volunteers have joined the project, and students are encouraged to take part.

Green Pal is a smart phone app that reminds people to water their plants. Users can take photos of their plants and the app tells them when water is needed. Many users say it has saved their plants.
