Repair instead of tossing: the mindset that changes everything
Before rebuying, try repairing: it's often simpler and more rewarding than you'd think.
We've gotten used to tossing things the moment they break. Yet many objects just need a small fix to work again: a stitch, a battery, a clean-up.
Fixes anyone can do
Sewing a button back on, regluing a sole, restarting a glitchy device: these basics take minutes to learn with a tutorial. Every successful repair is an object saved and a bit of money kept.
For what's beyond you, no shame: workshops and pros exist. The point isn't to do it all alone, but to repair before replacing.
