Ecosphere in my hands

I’m not exactly sure whether I love this piece of just find it ironic but it’s worth sharing with you.
Ecosphere, is a self-regulating ecosystem in a closed glass sphere. Each sphere contains red shrimp, algea and other microbes, with gorgonia sprigs and shells to simulate underwater life. The sphere needs no cleaning, no feeding – not even changing the water. A few hours in the sunlight is all this eco-system needs to thrive. Sold at Brookstone for $65 – $250, this technology was developed by NASA Scientists.
