Gad Shaanan: Green Alternative Thinking
Industrial designer Gad Shaanan will be forever influenced by a quote from his father, “We are too poor to buy something cheap.” Gad makes us rethink being green today by finding ways to leave our planet green for generations to come. Instead of merely considering how recyclable the contents are, he suggests we buy products that bring value and longevity to the world.
