A simple repair changes attitude, which changes mindset, which changes how we relate with the objects in our lives. Care --> Repair Repair --> Care

I have noticed that the more I repair my things, the better care I take of them. A toss and repurchase attitude is inattentive, which leads to more breakage and yet more toss and repurchase. An easy way to disrupt this attitude is to do a simple repair.

How many upgrades do we have left? Let’s end fast tech. According to ORA’s data, by repairing over 2k laptops, community repairers have saved over 31,000 kg of CO2e emissions in the UK alone! Fast tech’s race to upgrade bears a growing responsibility for the climate crisis but we can fight back.

"Broken things are often “there” for us in ways that wrkng things aren’t. What’s true for doorknobs is also often true for social norms[,] institutions. When smthg works, you live in ignorance of it; when it breaks, you develop a belated expertise. [It’s] when things break that we discover them."
