Speaker 1 (00:00):
Upcycling sustainability are we giving up? The other day I
read an article where some people were giving up sustainability
because it was too expensive, from the clothing to the
organic food, etc. It was never supposed to be a
journey of expensive things. It was away in my mind,

(00:23):

our lifestyle and needs. But I have I still have
no doubt it can be part of our lives. Well
for now, remember life is about possibilities, not impossibilities. The
