Soil Clock by Marieke Staps (available at Heavenly Heroes)

The Soil Clock is a Dutch design by Marieke Staps. With this design, Marieke graduated in 2008 from the Design Academy in Eindhoven. This cute clock is an ecological alternative for those seeking to achieve a sustainable lifestyle. The Soil Clock or Mud Clock (like the Dutch call it) works using the soil of two cute pot plants that, through a copper-and zinc wire attached to the clock, generates energy through the growth and life cycle of the plants.

The clock, along with other fun, useful and ecological gadgets, is for sale at Heavenly Heroes. The plants however are not included the selling price of 35 EUR (approximately 48 USD).
