Fixits that will inspire even you!

Fix Broken Mug With Polymer Clay

Every Sunday, I take a look at the BBC website and a few others, today, I found a video about a guy in France that fixes umbrellas - did you know we throw away so many umbrellas each year that we could build 10 Eiffel Towers...every year!!!

Well, here are a few links to inspire you to embrace the fixit movement - every little thing you do to reduce waste IS useful...BUT...it can also be fun as you'll see from some of these links :)

First my umbrella guy - Thierry Millet - what a darling! http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-43007051/i-fix-umbrellas-to-save-the-world

then, what about this for a wonderful volunteer group to start up in your city?
