Chili Is Saved!

Seed vault for the future

Various types of chili pepper seeds have just been saved from potential extinction! Said seeds were just delivered to the "doomsday Vault" in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard recently...and it took congressmen to do it!
In case you didn't know, the government is trying to make sure that a food source survives a major apocalyptic event so survivors will not starve. This is being done by storing seeds of most of the plants we use in a secure facility deep inside a mountain.
Opened in 2008, the seed-saving vault has accumulated more than 500,000 varieties of seeds...stored at 18 degrees celsius more than 420 feet inside, there is a guarantee that we'll never run out of food sources...no matter what happens.
The facility took a year and $7 million dollars to complete, and now that we have the seeds from the native American farmers, we can rest easy.
I just hope we don't need these seeds.
