 Repair Day is an annual celebration of being able to repair and save stuff from landfill. We want to encourage everybody to think about repair, not just the people who do repair but people who have stuff that needs repairing. And also Repair Day will raise awareness of local, highly skilled people and they have to be acknowledged and celebrated and promoted. I think repair is essential because it is not sustainable for the environment for things to be thrown away even if just one component has failed. Repair is essential to me because it allows us to offer people the chance to get their machines repaired instead of them having to replace their machines. So to me it's kind of normal to repair. I find it shocking to see that people don't know that stuff is even repairable. London already has a fair repair economy, it's just not very visible. We've been celebrating Repair Day for a few years already. In the last two years we've been holding events in person. Well I'm Repair Day which is the 17th of October, I hope to be part of a group who will actually visit and meet the skilled craftsmen and women who repair things for their living. It's giving them the chance to become more well known. I'm going to celebrate Repair Day by repairing my bike.
