Personal / Community: Community project
Cities sub-categories: Compact living
Description: Not really "compact living" but Repair Clinics (repair Cafés) help users embrace the idea of fixing things instead of tossing them. Once we discover and apply "repairability" to our belongings, a paradigm shift occurs and we free ourselves a little bit from the tyranny of endless consumption:)
Website about this solution: www.repaircafe.org
Why I love this solution: It strengthens communities, diverts stuff from landfills and empowers people to repair their own (when they see their neighbors as "repair experts" they understand that we all can fix/mend our belongings.
