How to Recycle EVERYTHING
Saving the Planet, One Broken Toaster at a Time
In the midst of our ‘buy, use, toss’ lifestyle, a sustainable mindset of fixing and reusing items is lost. It seems that the life expectancy of household items is getting shorter, and often people resort to buying new items rather than getting their old items fixed. The Toronto Repair Café plans to reverse this throwaway mentality by making green living consumers more aware of their repair skills and increasing the movement of ‘fixers’ for a repair-driven, environmentally friendly more sustainable future.

This Toronto-based storage company connects people who have extra space with those who wish to store goods.
