This project aims to shed light on the importance of maintaining a green campus, encourage the community to seek greener alternatives in everyday life, and bring the community together.The idea after all was to show people how everyday materials (so called waste) can be up-cycled/ recycled .
The tree is made of 10,000 plastic bottles which constitutes to only 15% of plastic consumption in one month on campus.Therefore, this 6 meter high tree is a small reminder for people on our daily consumption of plastic. If everyone looks for greener alternatives and cuts down their consumption, it does make a difference on a broader scale.

The Tree was inspired by the mosaic of the hanging church in Coptic Quarter in Cairo, the tree was created to reflect the beauty of Egypt’s history by shedding light on Coptic Art.
