What do you get when you try to combine eco-consciousness, a speaker system, and Japanese design?  Well, you  get this weird Sound Garden concept from JVC.

Aside from the obvious plant growing out of the top of the speaker, the concept features a full hi-fi speaker system with bass-reflex ports, and is made entirely of “eco-plastic”.  It was also designed to allow you to connect several of them together to make some sort of eco-music-garden of sorts.

People have re-used old vinyl records for all types of purposes, this being just another example…kind of a waste if you ask me.
