OV has a terrarium in a bottle, this can be found on the windowsill in Center of Excellence. The terrarium is sealed, with the intention of making it a closed cycle of water that can hopefully survive the potential lack of love from future board members. It is not quite a biosphere, but more or less spheroid in shape.
Composition
