This is not really a sub of course, more of a glass bottom boat... But it might be quite fun for reefs (which to me seems like the ONLY application that benefits from this design) but I'd have a safety and environmental worry about hitting the reef.
Looks like it's inspired by or at least philosophically related to RQ Riley's Aquasub -- http://www.rqriley.com/aquasub.html
Punishing a child for the parent's politics is nuts.
Also, a tupperware container is also plastic -- much more of it -- and will also ultimately end up in a landfill. So the manufacturing and disposal cost may well equal out. But more importantly, the plastic container has to be washed every day, meaning increasing water use and power consumption.
It would not surprise me one bit if the tupperware container ends up being more environmentally costly if you consider all the factors. And even if it isn't, it's certainly not OBVIOUS what the right answer is.
So yeah, it boils down to politics, and punishing a child over their parents politics that they have no control over. Pretty unpleasant.

Steven's posts are one of my favorite things about Neatorama. I'm always happy to be helped along on a flight of fancy.
