CACTUS:CONS
- difficult to handle
- difficult to access water source

Glass blowing industry:since we have plenty of sand, we take advantage of that and make and sell/trade glass for money
Cactus industry:we import cactus to other places through traders and the river
Mining industry:we use the mountains to our advantage using homemade tools in order to find, and then sell/trade what we mined
HOUSES
