🎉 Happy Repair Day everyone! 🎉
Today, repairers are gathering to celebrate repair and fight for #RepairForEveryone ✊
There are over 2000 events happening across the globe - the most we've ever seen! 💥 Let us know what you get up to!
Shout out to RC Hudson Valley for their continued work bringing repair events to the area!
Check out the #RepairDay map for more events in Massachusetts, DC, Chicago, Memphis and San Diego🤩And Canada in Toronto, Rivière-du-Loup, Burlington, Edmonton, Kamloops and Maple Ridge🍁
We have another amazing report to share with you! 🎉
We set out to investigate #reuse and #repair in UK #waste facilities - wanting to find out what was happening to our reusable 'waste' and how we could save more of it from being shredded🗑️
And we also undertook some polling to see how the results squared with the desires of the general public 🤔
There were some (not so much for us) shocking discoveries so to read the full report go to: https://therestartproject.org/repair-reuse-research-oct-24/
There's a lot of progress yet to be made but at the same time, so much to celebrate. We hope you'll join us for https://repairday.org this year 💚
(if you visit a local event your involvement could contribute to the data 😉)
It's nearly #RepairDay, so we're excited to announce the first Open Repair Alliance report on community repair data.
It explores over 200,000 records of #repair attempts that we've collected over the years, so there's a lot to dig into 🔍.
We’re thrilled to announce two major releases from the Open Repair Alliance for International Repair Day: our latest dataset, now containing over 200,000 records of repair; and our new report diving into this data.
Whether it’s our electronics, clothing, furniture, cars… we need to be using our things for longer🪛
Let's take a laptop - 80% of emissions happen before it even gets into the user’s hands. Meaning the best way to prevent them is to keep your existing laptop running💻🏃♀️
Celebrate #RepairDay by having a go at repairing something you own and giving your stuff a second lease on life! 🎉
