4th of Dec: My „eco Adventskalender“ suggestion for today: Repair something you own! I am sure that everybody has at least one broken item at home, some clothes with a missing button, a beloved, but broken toy, … Search for it TODAY and repair it TODAY! If you get stuck and cannot do this on your own, search for a repair event near you (search for „Repair Cafe, Reparaturcafe or similar words) or bring your clothes to a professional place near you („Änderungsschneiderei“). Fixing things helps to save ressources, avoids unnecessary waste, therefore it’s much better for our planet and nature – and apart from that it’s fun and can make you happier! Being able to fix items and to break the circle of buy-throwaway-buy new stuff can be a very nice feeling. Invite friends to do this together. Find people who are also interested to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
BTW: We’ll have a „Reparaturevent“ at my Little Shop of Science tomorrow morning from 10:00 to 12:00, Dec 5th 2014.
