- Today in the "green segment" I have a special guest
- who has a patent for making an ecological bag
- from materials that can be found in every home
- Adi Dori - please show us
- what you made and how you made it
- I took a simple shirt
- A school T-shirt, that is no longer in use
- because we grew up and it doesn't fit
- or because we moved to new school or summer camp
- In this bag I sewed its edge
- and closed its lower part
- but actually...
- You can put inside things that you buy
- Yes, and the same can be done without sewing
- simply by tying
- What? Without any sewing?
- With no sewing at all.
- Anyone who knows how to tie a simple knot can do it
- So how do you do it?
- Well, we take an ordinary T-shirt
- That we no longer use
- and no loger fits us
- and we fold it
- so that the sleeve will be on the sleeve
- and than
- we cut it
- we cut the sleeve along the seam
- we can cut both sleeves togeather
- these are scissors for cutting clothes, but any scissors will do
- by cutting off the sleeve we made an "undershirt"
- then we cut the neck opening
- I wouldn't think of this part
- We need to create space
- for the stuff we will put in
- Now, we created an undershirt
- That is like a shopping bag
- and so we begin
- What an idea!
- So... this one is without sleeves
- I took the sleeves off
- and now I need to fold it
- so it will be like that
- with a handle
- Ah, O.K.
- But the bottom is still open
- In order to close it
- I simply cut the edges
- both the upper and lower cloth
- all along the edge
- in the end, we need to tie
- an upper and lower
- You begin tying on this side
- I tie twice
- a double knot
- the upper string and the lower one
- untill we finnish it togeather
- But you do it much faster than me
- I am skilled
- And is it strong?
- It will not untie, it's very stong
- because there are so many double knots
- maybe we'll show them a comlete example
- sure
- In the end
- the bag looks like this
- The knots are so beautifull!
- They are
- You can sew a sleeve from another shirt as a pocket
- That is... I like it
- A place for your portable phone
- To make it easier to carry
- When we go to the shopping
- We just fold the bag
- and insert it into the pocket
- What a patent!
- It is so small and comfortable and compact
- that you do not forget it
- just take it with you everywhere
- and you always have a bag.
- I saw you made another cool thing
- I use materials that can be found in every garden
- especially after trees are trimmed
- I take a split branch
- Very simple, just clean it
- and file the edges to smooth them
- and on an iron rod I thread
- sea shells and beads
- and beer corks that I pierced with a nail
- Ah... O.K. ... so
- Goodbye and ... take care for the environment
- That's right!
