There are some eco-friendly gadgets that are just completely barmy, and the Growing Ring is a perfect example of that. Supposedly designed for people who live in metropolitan areas, the ring is meant to give a little comfort to the owner when there are no trees or plants around.

The ring probably uses a kind of moss for the plant, but it needs frequent watering just like any other plant. I can imagine that it’d be very easy to lose the plant whilst wearing the ring every day. There’s very little to stop the plant falling out from what I can see. However, if you have the strong desire to wear a plant on your hand, the growing ring will set you back $179.00. I think I’d prefer a house plant.

I do love these odd eco gadgets. Well, perhaps love to hate. This solar-powered turntable will rotate up to 200g of junk using nothing but the sun’s energy. 200g is very little weight, so you couldn’t use it for a plant or anything.

It’s just what you always wanted! You’ll be able to watch your niknaks rotating all day long (whilst there’s some sunlight anyway). Not very practical, not very useful. No doubt made from plastic and no eco benefit whatsoever. Oh well, it make me laugh!

Washup is a bizarre conceptual design that combines a washing machine and a toilet in the same place. The idea is that waste water from the washing machine is used to flush the toilet, rather than wasting fresh water to flush the toilet.

The inventor claims that for small homes, the washing machine in the bathroom would save space. By having the washing machine at arm height, it saves having to bend down to collect the washing, therefore helping those with poor mobility.

The idea of using “used” water, otherwise known as greywater, is not new. It would make more sense to collect all of the water from the bath, shower, washing machine and washbasins in a single tank and use that for toilets and watering the garden.

Definitely a novel green gadget, and certainly thinking outside the box!
