Across the world the right to repair is gaining traction... in the UK Jay Blades & his colleagues on The Repair Shop have pushed repairing into the mainstream.

This has been going on for some time, including cycle repair Co-ops, repair clinics etc. Every now & then it pops up in the mainstream media... and here is this week's iteration.

Repairing is the future, but the Tech firms don't want us to embrace it - resist!

A start-up packaging company combines fungi with organic waste to grow and create compostable packaging.

Organic waste and mycelium is grown for 7 days in a mold and the final product is able to be used in place of traditional materials such as polystyrene.

After use, the packaging can be composted in the garden.

Let's do this now! 🍄

I finally got round to documenting the A8 micronotepad which has gradually became an extension of myself.

"This notepad is pretty much two bank cards, with a bit of duct tape as a 'spine' and an elastic band to keep the paper in. This design came out of a need to have a completely portable way to take notes."
