We often throw away perfectly good things because we’re afraid of clutter. But what if we could learn to appreciate and reuse these items instead? SUMMIT is a free event in September that aims to help people learn how to embrace their belongings and reduce waste. It will feature workshops, talks, and demonstrations on topics such as upcycling, repurposing, and creative reuse.

The repair cafe movement is gaining momentum in the United States, with more and more communities embracing this sustainable approach to waste management. Repair cafes are not just about fixing broken items; they are about fostering a sense of community and promoting sustainability. They are a powerful tool for reducing waste, promoting reuse, and encouraging responsible consumption.
