@futurebird @Remittancegirl you know in the EU some people try to push the "right to repair" through parliament? And this is tied to repair cafes? This is real community building stuff. Upcycling has been a trend for some time now. And France has implemented a bonus if you let your stuff get repaired instead of throwing it away. Think about it: this benefits small local businesses and you lessen slave labour in other parts of the world.
