What if there was a trick for saving money and helping the planet? Repair Cafes are a solution to over-consumption and a form of resistance by relearning the skill of repair. Saba Saneinejad leads the Repair Café in Guelph, Ontario and joins Earth Day Party hosts, Shannon Burns and Sarah Christie, to share how repair and reuse are powerful responses to the climate crisis. In the interview, Saba explains how the cafes operate through a team of volunteers who all bring various skills to the table such as electrical work, mending clothes, bike repair and more!
Saba offers hope when she highlights how the movement builds a sense of community. The discussion highlights the importance of an anti-mass consumption mindset and the power of learning new skills.
