WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT

MAKING OUR THINGS LAST LONGER IS BOTH MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE COST!EFFECTIVE THAN MINING THEM FOR RAW MATERIALS.

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!

FIXING THINGS IS OFTEN FREE, AND USUALLY CHEAPER THAN REPLACING THEM. DOING THE REPAIR YOURSELF SAVES SERIOUS DOUGH.

THE BEST WAY TO FIND OUT HOW SOMETHING WORKS IS TO TAKE IT APART!

REPAIR CONNECTS PEOPLE AND DEVICES, CREATING BONDS THAT TRANSCEND CONSUMPTION. SELF!REPAIR IS SUSTAINABLE.
