A chef in Jordan has made sustainable face masks using eggplant skins.

Jordanian chef Omar Sartawi transforms eggplant skins by salting, dehydrating and cooking underwater to create a leather-like sustainable material.

Sartawi works with Jordanian designers to turn his material into fashion. The masks are sewn by Salam Dajani, while Nejla Asem adds jewelry.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
