A new feature this year will be '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BookSwaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookSwaps</span></a>,' one for adults and one for children. The café has a friendly and fun ambience and combines an enjoyable family activity with a rewarding outcome.</p><p>"Annalise Stenekes has led the project since its inception and has gathered a dedicated and talented team of fixers who will attempt to repair a variety of items, including bicycles, lamps, home appliances, sewing machines, jewelry and audio/visual and computer equipment. Small furniture items will be repaired, clothing and footwear mended and toys given new life.</p><p>"Last year, 230 kilograms of items were given a new lease on life, diverting potential waste from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/landfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>landfill</span></a> and saving an estimated $1,000.</p><p>"'<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Repairing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Repairing</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/reusing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reusing</span></a> broken items, as opposed to disposing of them and purchasing new ones, is a practical and meaningful contribution we can make for our environment,' says local resident Wendy Kirk. 'The Repair Café is also a feel-good place — at times the joy is tangible when someone’s prized item is restored to its former usefulness.'</p><p>"Repair Café events are happening around the world, saving money, reducing landfill waste, cutting CO2 emissions, promoting learning and fostering community connections."</p><p>Source:<br><a href="https://www.orilliamatters.com/local-news/need-something-fixed-orillia-repair-cafe-returning-in-april-10371696" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">orilliamatters.com/local-news/</span><span class="invisible">need-something-fixed-orillia-repair-cafe-returning-in-april-10371696</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafesOntario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepairCafesOntario</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepairCafes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuildingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FixIt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FixIt</span></a></p>

Alexander Hanff<p>So found a use for my old iPhone - now using it as a continuity camera. </p><p>Currently I keep the charging cable connected so the camera doesn&#39;t die mid conference call but eventually this will lead to issues with the battery.</p><p>Sadly Apple has built their phones in such a way as the power supply will only work if there is a battery installed - which frankly, is rather stupid when it comes to re-using old hardware.</p><p><a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sustainability</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>recycling</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/reusing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>reusing</span></a></p>
