The design of this refrigerator is inspired by symbiosis. The plants produce oxygen and water for the fish. The feces of fish can in turn manure the plants. The carbon dioxide released during the aerobic respiration of fish and plants helps keep the meat in the fridge freshSo a small ecological cycle is formed inside the fridge. This design turns a fridge into a self-sufficient and energy-saving ecosystem that provides for human instead of a mere appliance to keep food fresh
