A big fight for right-to-repair is happening world-wide because of:

🔸 Planned Obsolescence: products designed to break.

🔸 Unfixable Products: some products will have their components soldered, glued, or riveted.

🔸 Brand-Specific Parts: These parts may cost more than buying a new product.

🔸 Restrictive Programing: Example: farm equipment that have to be hacked if farmers want to repair themselves.

To help reduce waste, some communities turn to "Repair Cafe's" where volunteers gather to fix the broken items of strangers for free. People bring in stand mixers, vacuums, computers, items that need sewing repairs, and more. Often, the person is very willing to explain the repairs as they do them.
