[Music] [Music] [Music] my name is Fred married with two children so I'm a favor man I also own a shop whereby I sell second hand clothes which we draw as mokuba in this market in to market you find everything you need t-shirts like like yeah Reebok yeah yeah like that yeah all of them the a very very common in the in this pocket and the first going the reason why Mathura is very much common in Kenya and is well liked in Caen is because most is very cheap they achieve they are portable because the achieve
must be for the pet owners [Music] they are me tumor from UK United Kingdom your army tumor from America we have new tumors from Canada we have metal from Australia we have me tumor from Germany so the very units from many countries it is then shipped here in Kenya passes through the port of Mombasa and of rodents and then taken to the gold ants in the central business area of Mombasa where we go and get them and buy them from a me to Becerra in the whole part of my life and this is where my
family feel um I - kids I have gone through education room with me to my business I have stalled I have employed people from these business so it has her and pride other people and I would say that it has good returns in 1996 there are few people who you saw Selma tuba and Sarah's increased the Gordon's also increased but we failed sometimes I miss that the quality is degree me when we opened the very Macumba sometimes you find that the quality is so why you find that half of the mirror is actually something that
go to waste can go to waste and have average sound horses good Rwanda my own a mere 50 percent is damage if the 50% that tastes bad usually you have to throw them in the dustbin or ban and because it's all Dutch in the environment Igorot are 23k and you can't see how they are we can't even sell it are 10 shillings unless you ban him he has no profits you see the market whom do you expect to be like this as I opened for 23,000 I expect to get hurt around and see 10,000 profits
after 2 weeks while after 1 week when they are nice but are the movements the ones that I got yesterday I know it turns me back no one can buy a dirty clothes listen me I'm not happy because of that lack of that kind of proper management of West the end of into our dump sites the most of the dances we have they adjust along the roads along the river beds so at the end of the day we find them when it rains you find the Yahoo we put in the drainage the water standing you
find it smelling everywhere daya like when it's raining is very bad the rivers are actually all of them dirty yeah and even the count government then the cloud covered a desert doesn't have the capacity doing any any kind of clean system [Music] I feel like there's a big environmental impact because it's cheap so your your mentality is always like you know where to get it you can always get it at any time because it comes in in plenty you know it comes in in plenty so you can always go back and buy [Music] I'm a
part of a group which cleans the river slum going green so each and every day we go and clean like a certain area we go there the next day it's full of that waste disposal again so it's crazy much of these things that we find when we are cleaning the river with my other group members they are number one clothing like textiles and mattresses mattresses and bed sheets you continue to dig deeper you'll just find clothing [Music] when it rains more that river becomes this side like this enters in all of these houses here so
nowhere to sleep even you can't do anything all house in emerg even we can't even find a place to eat to sleep here because if it bad everything bad chairs cooking utensils does everything get damaged so you can't even stand to see how your house look like I've been sick because of the flooding of the river it destroys my home my peace of mind [Music] [Music] the Donora dump site is the largest dump site in Kenya and in Nairobi as the capital city by all everybody disposes their waste to dandera dump sites [Music] Weston dendera
is not organized when other people are coming to dispose the waste in Donora the as long as the gate space they'll just dispose it off whether it is near a household or any any open field that they get one of the major challenges that we experience us the residence of tindora is the smoke the smoke that has caused a lot of respiratory diseases and for that only we we have a warden we have a specific space in Kanata National Hospital for people from Dan Dora this smoke is inhaled with people around the dumpsite and that
is a cause for respiratory diseases especially for children who like playing a lot in near the dump site or even walk through the dump site we're going to and from school it's like the drone in the West to us because atap acid is good interpret wasn't bad it's like he's dumping this dam yeah don't let that mean it was to us and that's the Menace we have now [Music] Soko is coming manufacturing company that incorporates ethical green in manufacturing in the alidade Kenya used to be a force to reckon with when it comes to textile
manufacturing it had a couple of renown textile mills that used to supply fabric for the local market as well as for export but in the late 90s the textile industry took a hit from the introduction of new tomba which affected quite a number of people because it used to employ directly and indirectly more than half a million people the resident me tomba has definitely impacted the textile industry in Kenya because the import is way higher than what the Kenyan factory can produce it's not possible to compete with me tomba for a textile to be sustainable
[Music] [Laughter] [Music] I was working for a fashion brand in Brussels and that went bankrupt ten or eleven years ago and then I decided at that moment that I wanted to work fashion otherwise I wanted to wrestling the way I was working fashion and that was the beginning of this idea but is that yo we want to focus on sustainability we want to focus on a slow fashion we can say that it is at your we craft into beauty what otherwise should be burned in my experience with the industry I have seen that every six
months this big industry produce a lot of samples which are becoming waste and I was determined to use them well if we imagine that in the economy in general there is the linear economy which lives and dies and becomes waste what I do in my economy circular is this waste I take it and I put it back to the market and with these raw materials if we can say I put high value quality products and they live again and again and we close the loop I would like to think in a future where fashion becomes
more sustainable which means that more green and when I said green I think about the planet I think about rethinking the way we act when we are consumers I know that our system push us to over-consume but I think it's it's the mission that we have everyone to rethink the way we proceed when we are faced to buy something and it is better sometimes to buy one thing more than three and pay for it for the work and the values that it contains [Music] [Laughter] [Music] new wardrobe is a social network it's an open community
to be able to share your clothes or people in your local community so it's a way of being able to access fashion in a more sustainable way you join as a member you pay a flat membership fee and you upload your own piece to share once you shared your own piece on the platform you're able to borrow from anyone in a community without any additional course so it's all about getting the pieces that aren't getting enough love in your wardrobe out there in the world and start sharing them as a company we work towards sustainable
development goal 12 which is responsible production and consumption and this is a really great great way to be able to actually benchmark what we do as the company and understand fundamentally what kind of society we need to create new is built by a community so in any given location we create a community of like-minded people who really want to see new thrive and who want to share clothes and who want to enjoy fashion in a more sustainable way and so I guess we're working with the kind of mindset that we all have enough pieces and
we all have these events to go with but really with new you don't need to have a Wardrobe full of 50 dresses you can just have one dress and 50 new friends [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] options [Music] take it no more no reason to bring in a choc from all the plastic and os2 material being disposed take a trip down a robbery but I promise my look in the flow of water fish is machine to chew on it there's really nothing to see here we are careless tuna careless for the rivers that
came before us give us water plus it's a natural resource to to get our resources this story put us in charge so let us take charge let us take charge [Music] [Music] we have rivers then took on a clean break oh and we have Felix then we have more fish feeding up the nation everything it's all good now we collect we play disgust come on get him I died I would die for this pickup to kill I'm fit and I choose a comma y making sure innovations don't try our going [Music] now I can I'm
