"Ragl Ankaboot" - my preferred way of learning Arabic (and German and other foreign languages over the years) and imaginative science based concepts and vocabulary, as I explained at the 5d FMX conference when asked what curricular materials were available to improve ed...ucation. Thanks to Frank Vitz, one of the designers of the Adventures of Spiderman ride at Universal Studios (my favorite ride of all time) for taking and sending this picture.
"Zabaleen" is the Arabic term for those visionary and enterprising people whose culture revolves around recycling. The Zabaleen are experts at "transforming one man's garbage into another man's gold" and aspire toward a net zero-waste economy. Applied and supported this could lead to true energy independence, not only by radically reducing our demand for "raw materials" and hard to extract natural resources but by recycling other less obvious phenomena and materials that are now wasted.
