Another successful repair café! Lamps, fans, a backpack, a wooden bench and 4? 5? sewing machines. All saved from the landfill and returned home. A key element of sustainability is to buy less stuff and keep what we've got in good working order. #environmentfirst #solutionfocused #sustainablemilton
