Have you heard of repair cafes, local meeting places where people come together to fix stuff that would otherwise end up as #waste? According to https://repaircafe.org/ there are more than 1,500 repair cafes world-wide -- a growing, noncommercial global movement.
This article in The Guardian from last month gives a good introduction: "Can we fix it? The repair cafes waging war on throwaway culture"
@constructivejournalism Community repair is awesome. Loads of social and environment benefits simply from getting people together in a room and fixing things.
Shoutout also to https://openrepair.org, an alliance of community repair orgs around the world (including Repair Cafe Foundation).
