A Drying Rack that Waters Your Plants
We never thought we'd be featuring a drying rack at EcoGeek, but this is too perfect to pass up. A simple design solving a simple problem elegantly.
The goal in this case is water saving - with increasing pressure on our natural resources, it makes sense to make the most of every little drop and not waste natural resources - as producing clean water requires energy, resources and infrastructure.
So designer Erdem Selek's "Planter Dish Drip" is pretty interesting. The design is remarkably simple -- just folded sheet steel the right size for you to put a plant pot into; however, as your dishes drip, the plant gets all the watery goodness rather than the drain...
And there's another incentive for going easy on the detergent.

Technology can be a force for evil, or for awesome. Those who shun technologies that could save the planet are just as guilty as those who ignore the environment.
There’s a safe balance, where the awesome can help nature as much as it helps us have a good time and live easier lives. EcoGeek devotes its pages to exploring the symbiosis between nature and technology. If you’re interested in that, then stop by, and stop by often.
