TIP OF THE MONTH: Repair and Repeat
Do we really need more stuff? Around the globe, people are saying “No!” and instead, focusing on repair and reuse. A fun way to meet new people, learn new skills, and keep your broken items out of the landfill, fix-it repair events are becoming popular, fueled by community engagement….
Not only can you become a part of this growing movement, but you will also save money!
“As individual consumers, the single-best thing we can do for the planet is to keep our stuff in use longer. Repair is a revolutionary act.” —Rose Marcario, Patagonia CEO
