There's apparently not going to be a Repair Cafe in my town this month. I look forward to them, so this is a slight bummer.

To cheer myself up tonight, I spent half an hour replacing the corroded battery spring contacts in a $2 kitchen timer, and cleaned up some crappy wiring and soldering inside it while I was in there. Felt productive. Yes, I could have replaced it for $2 - but I like the feeling I get from keeping it out of the landfill and fulfilling a useful purpose.

Your city may have a Repair Cafe, too.

#PenobscotNation citizens rally in opposition to proposed expansion of #JuniperRidgeLandfill

Jul. 18, 2025

OLD TOWN/ALTON, #Maine (WABI) - "Penobscot Nation citizens rallied across the Penobscot County court Friday afternoon in opposition to a proposed expansion to Maine’s largest #landfill.

"The rally was in response to the #ConservationLawFoundation and the Penobscot Nation appealing an expansion to #JuniperRidgeLandfill, which will allow #CasellaWasteSystems to expand Juniper Ridge by 11.9 million cubic yards.

"According to members of the #WabanakiAlliance, the expansion would pose a threat to surrounding #TribalLands due to concerns of air and #WaterPollution surrounding the #PenobscotRiver from the landfill.

"Speakers at the rally represented citizens of the Penobscot Nation, the Wabanaki Alliance, as well as the environmental groups #Slingshot and #DontWasteME.

" 'It is incredibly powerful to see the number of people out here in opposition to this expansion and support of this appeal. We know the time for #EnvironmentalJustice is now. We need to turn the tide towards #ZeroWaste,' said #DanaColihan, Co-Executive Director of environmental group Slingshot.

" 'I just hope that the state can get serious about actual environmental justice, and Casella can implement some practices that it make it so that they don’t have to bring out of state waste to stabilize our sludge, and really find solutions instead of creating more problems with us,' stated #MaulianBryant, Executive Director of the Wabanaki Alliance."

#NewZealand: #RightToRepair Amendment Bill a critical 'first step' for consumers

20 February 2025

"New Zealand has been 'lagging behind' the rest of the world in offering repairs for products, an advocate says.

"Kiwis are now a step closer to the guaranteed right to repair the products they own with the Consumer Guarantees (Right to Repair) Amendment Bill passing its first reading in Parliament on Wednesday.

"If successful, the legislation would compel manufacturers to ensure repair facilities and spare parts for their products are made available in New Zealand.

"#GreenParty co-leader #MaramaDavidson who has sponsored the bill said it combined climate action with cost of living relief.

"'The Right to Repair is about empowering consumers to repair what they own, protecting them from recurring costs and in turn preventing more and more waste going to #landfill and polluting our #environment.'

"She believed it would favour consumers over big corporates 'who build #obsolescence into their products so people have to keep coming back to replace their things and spend more of their money'.

"It would benefit households as well as businesses including farmers who would be able to fix the appliances and the tools they needed to do their jobs.

"Auckland University Professor and member of the Right to Repair Coalition Alex Simms calls it a 'first step'.

"It was a worldwide movement and New Zealand was "lagging behind', she told Morning Report.

"Simms said one drawback of the existing bill was that the Commerce Commission would not have the power to compel manufacturers to comply because it is an amendment to the Consumer Guarantees Act.

"One suggestion that arose during the debate in Parliament was that it should become part of the #FairTradingAct so that #ComCom would have enforcement powers.

"Also, currently if a consumer takes an item such as a phone to an unauthorised repairer a warranty becomes void - that would no longer apply if the bill became law, Professor Simms said.

"'That will really help people get stuff fixed a lot cheaper."
