Not one strip of cloth is wasted at Goonj, a volunteer-run urban recycling center in New Delhi, founded by Anshu Gupta. In this film, Gupta shows how Goonj recycles garments to provide clothes, schoolbags, sanitary napkins and other amenities for India's poor. He offers a heartfelt appeal for all of us to be mindful of the unused clothing taking space in our closet right now, and to recognize what a treasure it could be for someone in need.
