#RepairCafe offers free fixes for broken items to help limit #environmental waste

by Nadja Woods, April 5, 2025

“I really like doing this, and for the planet, we don’t have to waste more resources trying to put something else new into the market. We already have great things, so there’s a multitude of reasons why I do this,” said Espinoza.

#Canada - How a #ScarboroughOntario couple is building community, one repair at a time

by Jessica Patterson
Published March 28, 2025

"Once a month, volunteers gather in a Scarborough, Ont., community centre to fix broken appliances, bicycles, housewares and computers and mend torn clothing – all for free. The Mid-Scarborough Hub Repair Café was launched 18 months ago by Krissan Veerasingam and Fizza Khalid, a couple on a mission to make Scarborough a kinder, greener place.

They both have day jobs – Mr. Veerasingam is a software developer, Ms. Khalid is a health and safety adviser – but volunteering is a big part of their lives. They founded the Scarborough Environmental Association (SEA), a non-profit organization that hosts events like pollinator plant giveaways, clothing swaps, sewing workshops and park clean-ups. The Repair Café is a key SEA initiative, focused on supporting low-income and historically disenfranchised communities. (Repair Cafés originated in Amsterdam in 2009 and there are now more than 3500 of them around the world.)"

#repaircafe today and some #easter eggcitement 😂

I fixed an egg incubator machine today which wasn’t rotating the eggs properly. That’s a new one for me!
There was an issue with the motor - it wasn’t connecting to the teeth on the plate underneath that slowly rolls the eggs slowly around.

Easy #repair - happy customer and happy chicks !

Morgen ist es wieder soweit, der erste Samstag im Monat. Und das heißt: Repaircafé.

Im Repaircafé wird aus „kaputt“ ganz schnell „funktioniert wieder“! 🔩👩‍🔧
Hier treffen Neugier, Know-how und Gemeinschaft aufeinander. Ob allein oder im Team – gemeinsam geben wir Dingen ein zweites Leben. 🌱♻️

🕑 Samstag (morgen), 05.04.2025 | 14 – 17 Uhr
📍 Walther-Pauer-Straße 7, 03046 Cottbus (auf dem Campus der BTU)

Auf dem Bild sieht man mehrere Personen, die konzentriert an einem technischen Projekt arbeiten. Im Fokus steht eine Person, die mit einem Lötkolben und einer Handlupe filigrane Arbeiten an einem kleinen elektronischen Bauteil durchführt. Eine weitere Person assistiert dabei. Im Hintergrund sind technische Geräte und Werkzeuge sichtbar.

I am seriously thinking about hunting down the designer of the Nespresso Pixie as having spent two days (on and off) opening it up to clean the filter (5 minutes) I have now spent all afternoon trying to get it to go back together!

The sooner the EU outlaws the use little plastic clips to hold things together the better.

Ceci rappelle l'importance des travaux menés par HOP - Halte à l'#obsolescence programmée d'un point de vue réglementaire, Green Code Initiative (ecoCode) pour l'optimisation des applications, le réseau des #repaircafe pour permettre à chacun-e d'apprendre à réparer.

Des systèmes d'exploitation ouverts comme #eos existent pour se passer des surcouches publicitaires et de tracking qui contribuent à l'épuisement des batteries. On peut les installer soit même sur un smartphone compatible

I am off to meet Sue at work in a while. After that I need to buy some nail varnish.

Then I will be mostly off line later today, for 24 hours, as I will drop off my laptop to a a friend who will increase it's onboard memory and install a version of Linux to replace Win10.

Tomorrow I have Boothstown #RepairCafe in the morning, and after that I should be learning my way around Linux and restoring all my data, bookmarks, and other software that I use.

You might see me on my phone in the meantime, but I might just take the imposed time off to do other things.

A 1:12 scale diorama of Daisy's living room. The open plan stairs are on the left. Beside them is a small table and two wooden chairs. On the far wall is a wooden fire surround with a TV on the mantle and flowers in the opening. There is a black floor vase to the right of the fireplace, with yellow and pink roses. The edge of a bureau can just be seen on the right. Harriet, a Caucasian woman with dark hair, glasses and wearing a red tee shirt and blue jeans, is sitting in one of the chairs working on a laptop that is on the table. Daisy, a Caucasian woman with fair hair and wearing a burgundy top and green trousers, is standing behind Harriet, watching over her shoulder and offering advice. Monty Dog, Harriet's grey and black dog has his front paws up on the other chair also offering advice, though his advice is to forget the laptop and to go for a walk. Monty may have a point.
