I love this Repair Manifesto from Platform 21, and I think it fits beautifully with our March is Mending Month theme. Here are a few of my favorite points from the manifesto:

Repairing means taking the opportunity to give your product a second life. Don’t ditch it, stitch it! Don’t end it, mend it! Repairing is not anti-consumption. It is anti-needlessly throwing things away.
As you fix objects, you’ll learn amazing things about how they actually work. OR don’t work.
