Shrimp Under Glass Most of us spend a lot of time talking about sustainability, but few of us get to see it in action. This gift will change that. Ecospheres are self-sustaining little worlds enclosed in glass. Designed by a NASA engineer, these beautiful glass globes are strangely absorbing. Filled with algae, bacteria and tiny shrimp, they are like little aquariums that take care of themselves. Carl Sagan became so absorbed in his Ecosphere that he found himself “worrying about the shrimp, rooting for them.”
