🌿 Let's embrace the 4 R's: Reduce, reuse, recycle... and repair!
Today, the European Parliament adopted the 'Right to Repair' Directive. By promoting repairs both within and beyond the legal guarantee, it will soon mean:
🟢 Easier product fixes
🟢 Money saved
🟢 Less waste
By repairing and using our goods for longer, EU consumers can not only practice sustainable consumption but also save a significant amount of money in the process!

in reply to European Commission • • •Awesome! Been taking things apart only to find that every fucking thing is cast in several centimeters of epoxy and the rest is made with connectors that explode to a million plastic pieces if pried open. Didn't stop me, but would have been nicer not to have dug into the epoxy and replace all connectors.
Seems like I'll fix even more things in the future
