WE HOLD THESE
TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT
SELF-REPAIR
MANIFESTO:
REPAIR IS BETTER THAN RECYCLING.
MAKING OUR THINGS LAST LONGER IS BOTH MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE
COST-EFFECTIVE THAN MINING THEM FOR RAW MATERIALS.
REPAIR SAVES THE PLANET.
EARTH HAS
LIMITED RESOURCES AND WE CAN’T RUN A LINEAR MANUFACTURING PROCESS
FOREVER. THE BEST WAY TO BE EFFICIENT IS TO REUSE WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE!
REPAIR SAVES YOU MONEY.
FIXING THINGS IS OFTEN FREE, AND USUALLY CHEAPER THAN
REPLACING THEM. DOING THE REPAIR YOURSELF SAVES SERIOUS DOUGH.
REPAIR TEACHES ENGINEERING.
THE BEST
WAY TO FIND OUT HOW SOMETHING WORKS IS TO TAKE IT APART!
IF YOU CAN’T FIX IT, YOU DON’T
OWN IT.
REPAIR CONNECTS PEOPLE AND DEVICES, CREATING BONDS THAT TRANSCEND
CONSUMPTION. SELF-REPAIR IS SUSTAINABLE.
