TEDxDeadSea - Mohammad Alhajji - Looking at things from a different perspective May 27, 2011

Favorite:

The idea started by taking everyday items and waste, then reuse them into artistic creations to build up functional products. And then, another idea was formed, why not combine environmental concept with community empowerment by training the youth to create art pieces and products from different wastes! The idea concept is to look into things from a different perspective through using different wastes to shape unique products and gifts. A lesson is crafted, new ideas and solutions can tackle the prevailing challenges of our time, including helping our community and planet with the waste created every day. So the next time you are finished with something, think about the possibly of reusing it instead of letting it sit ideally in a landfill.

"Zawayed" is a product which has always been around us but never been shaped artistically
