About the video:

Thiago's imagination of a perfect world was the inspiration for his machine. It transforms paper back into trees (the reverse process performed by humans). Flying hands would come and collect the paper to feed the machine and plant the trees in the earth – doing the manual work for us. In reality, we need to do our part and help the environment by using less and recycling more.
