Happy International Repair Day! 🎉 Today is our favourite day of the year, a day where our thriving global community comes together to celebrate, to share, to educate, and to demand a more repairable future for our planet. ⁠
⁠
It's clear that we live in a divided world, but there's one thing that we can all agree on: the importance of repair. In our new UK polling, over 75% of those surveyed expressed support for repair policies, and that's from all ends of the political spectrum. ⁠
⁠
In a system where we're offered the quick 'fix' of replacing our stuff, choosing to actually fix something is an act of rebellion and care for the climate and our communities 🌎️🌍️🌏️⁠

🧰 Show us how you're celebrating the day and what repair means to you by using ⁠

As part of our annual tradition, we thought it was time for a more recent classic: "Last Christmas". Will you sing along? 🎶

Last Christmas, I had broken stuff
And the very next day, you threw it away
This year, to save it from waste
I'll repair it and make it special

At The Repair Finder, we are creating a part of the solution to make repair and reuse widespread. We need policy-makers to act to ensure that repair is accessible and affordable, and that reusing our resources instead of wasting them becomes the norm.
