#SouthPortlandMaine hosts '#RepairFair' to help extend life for broken items
Community members were able to bring one damaged item to be repaired for free.by Leeann Stapleton, January 25, 2025
SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine — "Dozens of people flocked to the #SouthPortlandLibrary on a chilly Saturday morning with broken or damaged items in hand to be fixed by some knowledgeable volunteers.
"The city held its first-ever 'Repair Fair' at the South Portland Library.
"With a limit of one damaged item per person, people brought anything from clothes to jewelry to electronics to woodwork and more, all to be fixed free of charge.
"Susan Parmelee is the sustainability program manager for the city of South Portland.
"She said one reason for the event is to avoid items getting thrown away when they could be fixed.
"'The city has a #ClimateActionPlan called #OneClimateFuture, and a whole section of that is waste reduction. A portion of reducing waste is preventing materials from going to the landfill,' Parmelee said. 'So, if we can fix the broken items, then they're not going to the landfill.'
"The lamp table had the longest line—at least for the first hour or so of the event.
"Parmelee said the city would consider hosting more of these repair events in the future, depending on how successful their first one was.
"The one-day event was held 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and coffee and doughnuts were provided for attendees."

Only covered in local news, but happening in many places: cities are crafting a #ClimateActionPlan both to reduce their emissions and to grow climate resilience.
Find out if yours has one.

Nice to see that #CCSF is looking at implementing a #ClimateActionPlan (https://www.sfexaminer.com/forum/why-san-francisco-city-college-needs-a-climate-action-plan/article_dd37c84e-baec-11ee-8c41-875f4ff65563.html)
If you are in San Francisco and can shake loose the time, showing support at this evenings Board of Trustees meeting would be good. Agenda and info re call-in comments is at https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/ccsf/Board.nsf/Public#

"The framework is intended to guide the development of suitable CAPs. In practice, their goal is for the framework to serve as a tool for developing city-specific CAPs that are consistent with acceptable #climate action planning standards and benchmarks."

This is how #cities can learn from each other (why re-invent the wheel for each city?) and can possibly collaborate on their #ClimateActionPlan and #adaptation.
"Cities and companies use CDP to monitor environmental impact, with the findings helping to guide #climate strategy."

#In November, voters approved a proposition to create a city #ClimateActionPlan, which compels the city to create #renewable #energy goals for its operations. The ballot measure included $5.2 million in bonds to do it.
Proposition K would reach beyond the city’s own operations, attempting to set #CleanEnergy goals for the entire local economy."
The vote is on May 6; early voting starts April 24.

What exactly is the Climate Change Advisory Council role on it? it seems to take an academic, stand back, quietly drop a report once a year, stance, rather than being an independent watchdog for #Ireland #ClimateAction? It has a seriously resourced and funded executive - and a senior level membership - why is it not speaking up and challenging ? #ClimateActionPlan

Our city is finalizing its #ClimateActionPlan. On the one hand, it's exciting that we've gotten this far. On the other hand, some citizen members of the team don't seem to get that their own thousands of miles of car trips all over the country to visit relatives, or multiple vacations that include flying are part of the problem. On the other hand, what an individual does, assuming we are not billionaires (we are not), is such a pitiful drop in the bucket, it's easy to explain it away. On the other hand, if every individual quit unnecessary fossil-fueled trips, went vegan, stopped buying unnecessary stuff, sealed & insulated their dwellings, switched to electric cooking & heating, installed solar where possible, pushed electeds to move bigger and faster, etc., it *would* make a difference. So, please urge your city, school district, county, large employer to do a climate action plan, and please make as many personal climate-positive changes as possible, I guess. #ClimateActionNow "We had our chance to make incremental changes, but that time is over. Only a root-and-branch transformation of our economies and societies can save us from accelerating climate disaster.” https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/inadequate-progress-climate-action-makes-rapid-transformation
