When Marjolein Noyce posted this on Ikea Hackers, I sprinted (figuratively) to the Conceptual Devices website to check out their “Malthus: A Meal a Day or How I Learned To Stop Worrying about the Food and Love the (Population) Bomb”
Yep, it’s a smarty-pants in-home aquaponics unit based on an Ikea Broder hack.
Fantastic!
Although, if I kept fish in my apartment, I’d get way too attached to cook them…
As it turns out, quite a few people in the Boston area didn’t know that a lot of those famously delicious steamers and chowder clams are dug out of the Boston Harbor by third-generation clammers…while clamming hasn’t made much noise in the local food movement, it’s actually a pretty big deal and in a pretty perilous situation thanks to a noncommittal response to fuel spills by Massport and Swissport. This is a great exposé by Phoenix writer Chris Faraone “Are Logan Airport polution and Massport indifference killing Boston’s proud clam-digging tradition? (Shucking Fits).”
