Behind all the problems we face is an underlying thread: corporate power. Fixing things instead of replacing them is one way to take back control. Many areas have fix-it events now, where people with skills and tools make themselves available for everything from patching clothes to soldering connections. The Right to Repair movement thinks when you buy something, you should be able to keep it functioning. Fixing what we can is the first step.
Plan a trip to a museum, park, arboretum this weekend. Pay admission, or check your city for “public access” dates, discounts, or tickets from the library. Explore the place you live and expand your world!
Save money with a library card! They have ebooks, audiobooks, magazine and newspaper subscriptions, movies you can check out, printing and sometimes craft supplies! Not to mention events you can attend and a place you can sit without buying anything. Support the library by using it, then donate what you saved to a good cause!
