00:00I generally come to Janpath or Sarojini and I have recently found a thrift store in Chennai.
00:08And I think it's an environmentally conscious decision because as it provides a wide variety of clothes and wide range of clothes to choose from.
00:20So I think it's better for the pocket also and also for the environment and since our generation, Gen Z's are more conscious towards the environment.
00:29So it's a better option plus there's a lot of options here in Delhi.
00:33With the whole Instagram, with the whole climate awareness, the youngsters are very, very much aware of what it is and thrifting plays a part in their lives.
00:58So that even if it's second hand, even if it's surplus goods, they are like, okay, we are taking small steps towards being conscious.
01:28For every person in this world, there is enough clothes that are already produced.
01:37And for the generations to come, there is enough garment that is already produced.
01:42Every year, according to the numbers and the figures, there are about 80 to 100 billion garments that are still being produced every year.
01:52So it's important for us to be able to bring that change.
01:58It's important to circulate things that are already existing and the only way to circulate them is to think about ways to rent, to thrift, to repair.
02:08The idea of upcycling is to innovate on the material that already exists.
02:29So you're not disintegrating it into new material, you're not going back in process or heavy industrial processes to convert this into a new material.
02:40So the energy consumption in those processes are much lesser.
02:44You are adding value to something that already exists.
