Honoring those with appealing ideas
Students at Yale University recently won a contest aimed at reducing waste in the fashion industry.
Yale School of the Environment student Jinali Mody and her team won the Hult Prize -- and $1 million -- for creating a new type of plant-based leather. Banofi Leather looks and feels just like the real thing and it's vegan, cruelty-free and sustainable. It also helps to deal with the 80 million tons of banana waste that is created each year.
