Not sure it won’t help the planet. But sometimes, we sneak into art - ‘green art’ - and get to this composting tube in live action.
First remark: No, it’s not a giant coffee paper filter that our grandmothers used to make coffee. It works like this. The under-table compartment is filled with worms, sowbugs, bacteria, and shredded paper. When discarded food is added, the bugs and bacteria get to chew them and creating compost that sprinkles out into a container at the bottom of the table.
Amy Youngs, who create the table, said she designed the structure following vermicomposting system, standard methods involving separating worms by hand, or by lifting heavy sections of the stacking tray type of bin.
The result is that you have a personal indoor compost machine at little cost. The problem is the LCD screen; Amy Youngs implemented it to let people check the worms in action. While it brings more electronics in a superb bio-structure, it’s a invitation window to appreciate underpraised forms of life, and might educate some people. (via wmma)
