ANDRAS FORGACS, Leather and meet without killing animals.
The first video I have seen is a Andras Forgacs' talk about crating leather without killing animals.
Andras Forgacs and his father have started a company to 3D print human tissues and organs and after this they had this idea of also growing animal parts so that we don't have to sacrifice that amount of animals to obtain the products we need. He emphasizes in leather because in our society, it is wildly used, so if we can create new leather from the cells we don't have to sacrifice any animals.
In my opinion, this technique could be revolutionary because we can create any leather we want without the need of having to kill any poor animal. So I think that in a future this will be used.
DANIT PELEG, Forget shopping. Soon you'll download your new clothes.
The second video I have seen is the Danit Peleg's talk about downloading your new clothes from home. She first had this idea when she wanted to wear something new for an event, but she hadn't anything to wear, so she designed clothes on her computer and then printed them with a 3D printer. After this, she decided to try and 3D print an entire fashion collection from her home. She experimented with many materials and many machines and her real challenge was to find the right filament for clothes. A filament that is strong and flexible.
In my opinion, this is a very difficult idea, because not everybody has a 3D printer in their home so years are going to pass until we no longer need to go and shop our clothes because we can 3D print them.
JESS ARINGTON, Wearing nothing new.
The third and last video I have seen is the Jess Arington's talk about second hand clothes. Though she has admitted that she is an outfit addicted, she has also said that she never wears nothing new. She likes second hand shopping because it reduces the impact her wardrobe causes in the environment and it is less expensive. Also, because while she goes shopping she gets to meet new great people and her money will help people that really need it. And finally, because she looks unique. She explained that she only took seven pairs of underwear for the week she was going to stay at TED and she expected to be able to but all the second hand clothes that she needed.
In my opinion second hand shopping is a great idea because usually people have many clothes in their wardrobe that they don't use anymore, but it stills new so if they sell it other can buy clothes that are less expensive. And during this talk, she showed us that we don't need a lot of money to look great, because if you really believe you look beautiful probably you will, because confidence is very important.
