'Wilma Rodrigues explains why it is important to be mindful of the clothes you buy per year as well as the manufacturers you financially support. The fashion industry is the second-largest polluting industry. Fast fashion can attract an exorbitant amount of consumers because of its cheap prices and reasonable quality of garments. Wilma Rodrigues is the founder and CEO of Saahas Waste Management Pvt Ltd, a social enterprise which offers integrated waste management services to large corporate campuses, apartment complexes and institutions. The focus of the company is to convert waste to resources and thereby create zero waste entities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx'
