Un Corps pour un Arbre ?
Il est courant de planter un arbre
en la mémoire d’un être important.
Et si on pouvait "devenir" cet arbre ?
Et si on pouvait "devenir" cet arbre ?
"Capsula Mundi" est le nom d’un concept de capsule funéraire qui vous "transforme" en arbre après votre décès...
Selon le concept, le "cercueil biologique" prend la forme d’un œuf géant qui servirait pour une nouvelle vie : un arbre. Le corps du défunt est placé dans l’œuf, replié en position fœtale. Une fois enterré, un plant d’arbre serait placé par dessus pour puiser ses ressources dans celui ou celle qui aura fait le choix de donner un nouveau sens à son dernier voyage.
Les concepteurs projettent de créer le premier cimetière d’arbres plutôt que les habituelles rangées de tombes. Objectif : que la mort des Hommes, comme celle de toutes choses, puisse créer de nouvelles vies, plutôt que d’abattre des arbres pour enterrer des cercueils. On ne viendrait plus se recueillir devant une pierre, mais devant un arbre, au cœur d’une forêt sacrée, qu’il faudrait éventuellement entretenir et aimer.

Mais ce projet ne peut pas voir concrètement le jour à cause de la législation italienne et des règles liées aux funérailles dans les différents pays. Les deux créateurs ont donc lancé une association pour faire changer ces règles

Egg-Shaped Treetop Walkway
The Bavarian Forest National Park (Neuschönau, Germany) bills the massive tree top walkway as “riskless adventure” since users are protected by a wooden fence and transparent nets. But for those who like a little adrenalin in their lives, a series of wooden and rope bridges along with other fun challenges are available at three different stations along the way to the top.
Once visitors reach the summit of the egg-shaped structure, which has a grade of no more than 6% and is topped with a flat platform, they are treated to immense views of the mountains of Lusen and Rachel along with the Bavarian and Bohemian forests. And on a really clear day, it is even possible to catch a peek at the northern Alps.

BioEgg
Œuf bioglobeA l'intérieur de la biosphère, des crevettes sont tenues dans un climat marin, sans les nourrir ni changer l'eau.
Rien ne rentre ni ne sort du récipient si ce n'est la lumière et la chaleur.
La lumière permet aux micro-algues de produire le dioxygène et la nourriture pour les crevettes. Le dioxyde de carbone généré par les crevettes fait croître les algues.
Acheter ici.

Egg Shell Planter
Instead fo seed starter kits, get creative and do this !
You can use the egg shell as a planter, and when it is time, transplant the plant into the ground. All you have to do is crack the bottom of the egg shell and plant the whole thing.
From here.

Magic Message Egg
If you ever wondered how they got ships into bottles, this is going to blow a few fuses in the 'How the *!#?*!?' part of your brain. The Message Egg is an astonishing and deeply silly bit of genetic engineering (well almost) gone haywire. Pop the can open, add water and within a matter of hours the egg will begin to crack as a bean plant begins to grow (not a chicken, as you might normally expect). This is pretty cool in itself, but not only will a bean plant grow out of the egg, the bean will have a message on it!
How the......? Who knows, and who cares, it's just a deeply weird and excellent bit of fun. The bean will germinate in about 5 to 7 days, by which time the message will be fully 'hatched' for all to see. We're still scratching our heads over this one, and it's had us all enthralled for far longer than is healthy. Egg and beans never have never been so cool.
As our Message Eggs are real plants, and nature does not always behave as we expect it to, the odd one simply refuses to sprout. If this happens to your Message Egg please contact us and we'll send you another one to replace it.
Features:
One message egg in clear germination container.
The egg cracks open to reveal a bean with a special message: 'I Love You' or 'Happy Birthday'.
The bean can then be planted to grow.
Warning: as the message eggs are live plants they sometimes have a will of their own resulting in a very low percentage refusing to grow.
(Sorry! Sold Out check back soon)
