Just to cheer you up a little; a little but of hope as you survey the global mountain of e-waste.... a student at De Montfort has designed a kettle that can be easily repaired - a simple but effective reinforcement of the 'right to repair'... more of this sort of innovation is what we need not more AI-bots!

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!

Some pics from our Repair Café yesterday in Coventry Central Library.

We had more visitors than usual and had to start telling people they might have to wait a long time only 45mins into our 3 hour session as we already had a big queue by then.

We repaired 30 items including a coffee machine, a china ornament, a jacket zip, 2 radios, an electronic toy, a hedge trimmer, a sewing machine and a pair of boots.

Two volunteer repairers fixing a coffee machine. One is engrossed in what they are doing, the other is looking to camera and is giving a thumbs up.
One of our volunteer repairers fixing a radio. The photo only shows a close-up of her hands as she is reaching inside it. One of her hands is covered in notes to self written in biro. The radio is in a kind of white and pink chintzy case.

A cute record player. One of those that is in a kind of travelling case. It is a special edition branded 'Virgin' record player, numbered 21 out of only 100 that were made. It was given to the owner for her 21st birthday.
