Waste
Lots of people are trying to use less plastic, and that has helped us see how much rubbish we make. What if we stopped throwing things away and started fixing them instead? Fixing clothes and electronics can save a lot of money.
Sometimes people throw things away because they do not know how to fix them, or they do not have the time or tools.
Learning from others in the community can help. It can give people the confidence to try fixing or reusing things, which means less waste.
We want to help by:
- promoting lessons and training to teach people how to fix and reuse things
- supporting groups where people share things for free, like tools or clothes
- making sure the things we buy are made to last and can be reused or recycled
