A
The Nobel Prize is considered by many people as one of the highest international honours a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, so he became very rich. He never married or had children in his life. When he died at the age of 63, he left a fund of 9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine and literature, and for world peace.
The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10,1901, five years after Nobel's death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, the winner of the Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he or she has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money.
Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more persons who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement.

Have you ever heard of upcycling? It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and often beautiful.
Is it the same as recycling? Recycling usually takes old things, like paper and glass, and breaks them down to make a new product. When you upcycle an object, you are probably doing something different. You can simply refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T - shirt. Also, the upcycled object is usually in the same, or even better condition.
Upcycling isn't a new idea. Some of the best examples of modern - day upcycling come from the old times. In those days, things were repurposed over and over until they were no longer useful. Upcycling is a way of life. Things shouldn't be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful.
It's clear that upcycling is green. It is also considered to be more environmentally friendly than recycling. Upcycling can just require your own ideas and work, but recycling requires energy or water to break down things.
Grace, a young woman from the UK, takes used teabags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, then dries out the teabags with the tea still in them. When they're dry, she takes the tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing. This can take a long time, but Grace has made lots of artworks.
In fact, no matter you create objects from old things or buy ready - made products from upcycled things, both ways are helpful for the environment and can bring you something that's both beautiful and useful. Get started today!
