Submerge-AquaFarm

AquaFarm by Back to the Roots
$59.99 at Backtotheroots.com

The ultimate green gift, the AquaFarm by Back to the Roots is a self-cleaning fish tank that grows food. Just fill it with water, add a fish (one betta fish or a few small fish) and plant seeds. It works like this: the natural waste produced by your fish is pumped up to the grow bed, where it’s broken down into the nutrients and food needed to grow the plants. The clean water then cycles back down into the tank, creating a tabletop-size sustainable ecosystem! For just $59.99 you get everything you need, including seeds and a coupon for the fish. Best of all, they are designed and manufactured right here in California.
