light and heat as possible to produce energy.Meals at homeThe future of food production is taken as one part of the design of the building.Gardens may appear on the outside walls of the house .People can plant tomatoes,carrots and green tea on them.So every day in the morning,you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.Learning form the pastLooking to the future isn't the only way to be green.Sometimes,ancient techniques(技术)can also help cut down energy use .For example,a chimney(烟囱)can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.33.The
