It seems like some of these folks are raising these animals, not just grabbing them from Hawaiian tidal pools. I have not had my ecosphere long enough to notice them getting "smaller" with molts. There seems to be a good quantity of algae in my tank. I am very strong environmentalist and a high-tech entrepreneur. I think experiments with shrimp that you raise like this are really important if they can help us change our mental models of the world. We have to stop viewing ourselves as "separate." We have to start seeing ourselves as all connected. I believe the highly innovative world does that very effectively. It gives me hope we can understand these simple closed loop models and start living on the world in a connected fashion. It seems raising these little guys could be a good sustainable business? Hopefully, we can get the software and HT business there soon too. Thanks again, Ryan DJ,

Also, they live a long time under minimal conditions and may just be slowly starving to death in these spheres.

That's a stunning bit of information. Does it refer to the IT industry as a whole? And can you share the source for that stat? “We are currently on the road to be a larger emitter of CO2 than the airline industry by 2020.”
