Not just a piece of cloth.

What good are 1.2 million tonnes of clothes in landfills doing right now?

Initiatives like Goonj can give our old clothes a purpose beyond just helping us look good.

Anshu Gupta is the founder of Goonj, a volunteer-run recycling center in New Delhi. Anshu shows how Goonj recycles garments to provide clothes, schoolbags, sanitary napkins and other amenities for Indias poor.

Don’t wait for a natural disaster to happen and then take your clothes to recycling banks, do it NOW.
