Dear all,
	Along the lines of the air conditioner recycling, has anyone devised 
a system for cooling terraria or smaller growing containers.  I had 
thought of using one of those humidifiers, running the vapor through some sort 
of metal tubing, probably aluminum, like an old-fashioned still. Maybe 
such a sytem might suck some of the heat out the 
environment and metal tubing.  Maybe that would be enough to cool the 
terraria, etc.  Maybe not.  The humidifier at least would serve to add 
humidity to the air which is essential for the highland Nepenthes and 
Heliamphoras which would be most appreciative of the cooler 
temperatures.  Just a thought of mine.  Any other ideas or practical 
experiences to relate.
