Where: New York Chicago

What: Gotham Greens first started in Brooklyn and now has four locations in New York City and Chicago. Their flagship farm in Brooklyn produces over 100, 000 pounds of greens per year. But it doesn't just produce healthy local vegetables. It is using high-tech greenhouses with solar panels to make sure the food grown is healthy and sustainable.

Where: Baltimore, Maryland

The farm provides these families with information on healthy eating, and access to the farm's fresh vegetables.

Where: New York

What: Swale, a floating food forest located on a large boat, is an innovative project meant to inspire citizens to rethink the relationship between our cities and our food.

Whether you’re trying to lose weight or simply want to keep an eye on day-to-day food, My Fitness Pal is a must-have tool. In addition to giving you the calorie count of any meal you plug in, the free app will also give you its protein, fat and carbohydrates. It also allows you to input water intake, track your daily exercise and weight, and get a clear graph to visualize progress.

People today are juggling(同时应付)more than ever before. Enter Microsoft To Do to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. Thanks to this free task management app, it’s extremely simple to create to-do lists and reminders. For example, flag an email, and it’ll then be automatically added to your to-do list. Or, highlight part of an email and the same thing will happen. No referring back and forth between multiple platforms to stay organized!

Everything seems to require a password now, and the passwords required get more complicated, thus difficult to remember. LastPass is an app that stores all your passwords in one place. Actually this storage space is itself password-protected, which means you only need to remember one master password to access LastPass. LastPass works everywhere, even across browsers and operating systems.

The basic plan is free, but there are paid options that allow multiple users and more storage.

9 . There are some great winter sports that are just waiting to be explored. Some or more extreme than others, but still definitely worth a try...

Invented more than 4000 years ago by the Finnish, it remains loved by so many all over the world. People of all ages can take advantage of this fun sport, as it is a great way to be outdoors and get a bit of exercise. Experts say that the more you practice, the belter your balance, co-coordination, and flexibility will become. So put on a pair of skates and get moving on the rink.

Snowcross is a sport suitable for people who are a bit more adventurous. Over the last several years, snowcross has increased in popularity and is one of the most sought-after forms of snowmobile races and a really trendy winter sport. Snowcross is popular in the USA, Canada, Sweden, and Finland. Sound fun? Why not give it a try?
