TODAY! #PeconicNY - #EnvironmentalExpo and #RepairCafé at Southold Recreation Center

May 2 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Peconic Recreation Center
920 Peconic Lane
Peconic, NY 11958 United States

"Southold Town is holding an Environmental Expo and Repair Café with the North Fork Environmental Council (#NFEC) on Saturday, May 2 from Noon to 4 p.m. at the town’s Peconic Lane Recreation Center.

" 'The NFEC has been coordinating repair cafés twice a year, and that will be incorporated into the event. We will also have a #composter sale pickup at the same time,' Ms. Van Eysden told the Town Board at the March 10 work session.

"At the NFEC’s Repair Cafés, the public can bring their household items — including small appliances, clothing, toys and bicycles to be repaired, and their knives to be sharpened.

" 'It’s a great community event, with neighbors helping neighbors to make things work again, with the added bonus of keeping those things out of the waste stream,' said Margaret deCruz, the NFEC Repair Café chair.

"Southold’s Waste Management department has been participating in a discounted compost bin and #RainBarrel sale program for the past year. The sale, open to Southold Town residents (other neighboring towns also have similar programs) is currently underway, online here, and residents can pick up their bins and barrels at the Expo.

" 'The reduction of food waste from backyard composting is a critical component in solving the regional solid waste crisis currently facing #LongIsland,' said Southold Town Solid Waste Coordinator Nick Krupski.

"Numerous environmental organizations will also have tables at the event. Compost coaches from the Long Island Organics council will give demonstrations and offer tips on how best to compost at home, and organizations ranging from Group for the East End to the #PeconicBaykeeper, #PeconicEstuary Partnership, #ReWild North Fork and UpSculpt will also offere information and inspiration on how to preserve our local natural resources."

Hier bin ich mit meinem Latein am Ende. Vielleicht hat @DerReparierer oder ein follower eine Idee?

Mein Backofen funktioniert solange er aufheizt. Geht die Temperatur im Innenraum unterhalb der Sensor-Grenze, oder ich drehe den Knopf für die Temperatur runter, sodass er aufhören sollte mit heizen, wird der Fehlerstromschutzschalter ausgelöst. Wo könnte hier der Fehler liegen, was könnte ich durchmessen? #righttorepair #reparatur #repaircafe
