Ep 144 - Repair Cafés That Fix It Instead of Throwing It Away15 aug15 min

In this episode, we explore the growing Repair Café movement across Australia, where volunteers help people repair broken household items instead of throwing them away. From toasters and bicycles to clothing and small electronics, these community events promote sustainability, save money, and teach practical repair skills. We discuss how Repair Cafés work, what you can bring, and why they're becoming increasingly popular as Australians embrace reducing waste and extending the life of everyday items. Whether you're looking to cut costs or live more sustainably, this episode introduces a community initiative worth discovering.
