Repair Café has been one of the most successful ventures in our area of the world – Somerset in the UK – because it not only saves people money, shows them how to mend things, reduces waste, reduces CO2 emissions, but also brings people together in a happy, non-judgemental atmosphere where they can all enjoy success together. The café side is very important as the delicious cakes and smell of real coffee makes for a very friendly, hospitable and warm atmosphere. Thank you Martine, so much, for your original very wonderful idea!!

This is so inspiring. Soon municipalities will join in on the fun and scale up the circular economy, including recycling centers that repair or otherwise harvest components from failed appliances. I appreciate the idea that “we can’t all create apps to make a quick buck,” and that the world needs a larger emphasis on reuse and repair. Our children will benefit from learning this at a young age. I have worked many Repair Cafés in the San Luis Obispo, California area, and used to work at iFixit. Right to repair is very dear to me.
