#BurnhamOnSea #RepairCafe returns today to fix household items for free
January 8, 2025
"Burnham-On-Sea Repair Cafe returns today (Wednesday, January 8th) with volunteers on hand to help repair household items.
"The Burnham-On-Sea repair cafe is held every first Wednesday of the month from 10am-1pm at the Waffle Hub in Burnham’s College Street at the Methodist Church.
"The free service launched in 2023 for local residents to help them save money by getting items fixed, avoiding new purchases, and also reducing the number of items that go unnecessarily to landfill.
"Leader Biddy Hammond told Burnham-On-Sea.com: 'Around 500 items have been repaired by our wonderful team of volunteers over the past year.'
"'We can’t repair everything that is brought in, but our team will have a look and make an assessment whether they can help or refer to other specialists.'
"'Around 70% of the things brought in are repaired or fixed, saving people money and avoiding it going to #landfill.'
"'Why throw it away when you can try the Repair Cafe? Clothing, furnishings, small household electricals and other items, including toys and portable items, can be brought along to our willing band of volunteers. There’s no charge, although donations are welcome.'
"The #HighbridgeRepairCafe is held every third Saturday of the month at The Purple Spoon, YMCA, #Highbridge from 10:00am – 1:00pm."

Looking for a #climateaction resolution for 2025? Start composting, and tell people you do.
It means less methane from landfills.
Methane is a really potent greenhouse gas.
Landfills are a major source of it.
I've composted for years. It's easy - stuff rots. The nuances come in if you want fast good compost for #gardening, but to just lessen trash, it's very simple.
My rules... (cont)

New York City now mandates composting. Next comes the hard part.
Municipal composting programs like NYC’s aim to reduce methane emissions from landfills, but implementing them effectively is a long process. Just ask…Canary Media
