This is how it's done. Fix things instead of paying big corps a fortune!

Der Bausektor ist weltweit für rund 38 Prozent der CO₂-Emissionen verantwortlich – verursacht durch die graue Energie in Herstellung und Bauprozessen sowie den laufenden Betrieb von Gebäuden. Dennoch wird Neubau steuerlich und rechtlich weiterhin gegenüber der Sanierung bevorzugt. Die Folgen: steigende Wohnkosten, enormer Ressourcenverbrauch und erhebliche Klima- und Umweltwirkungen.
Die Europäische Bürgerinitiative HouseEurope! will das ändern: Sie fordert neue EU- Gesetze, die Sanierung bestehender Gebäude gegenüber dem Abriss erleichtern und finanziell begünstigen. So sollen bezahlbarer Wohnraum gesichert, Ressourcen geschont und CO₂-Emissionen reduziert werden.

Dear JS ecosystem, I love you, but you have a dependency management problem when it comes to the Web, and the time has come for an intervention.

#SydneyNSW, #Australia - Why Buy When You Can Borrow?
"The #Sydney #LibraryOfThings is a not-for-profit service that provides the local community with access to a collection of extremely useful but only occasionally used items that can be loaned out for a short period of time.
We’re like a normal library but with things instead of books! Joining your enables you to borrow from ALL of our branches and you don’t have to live in the local area of the branch you want to join! Find out more about subscriptions and how it works here.
We hope that by encouraging people to borrow instead of buying or throwing away their unwanted items, together we can create a better connected, more sustainable and stronger community.
Did you know we also deliver #RepairCafes and run a #ToyLibrary? Check out #FixItHub Waverton, #TheFixery Cromer and The Lane Cove Toy Library.
We acknowledge the original custodians of the lands we work from, and pay respect to Elders past and present and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples."

#RepairEconomy Reinvigorated in Central #NewYork, #Syracuse Institute Leads the Charge
May 30, 2025
SYRACUSE, NEW YORK — "Broken lamps, torn clothes, a coffee machine that just won’t work — items like these are common in most households, and all too commonly wind up in the trash bin. Thanks to cheap replacements and a struggling repair economy, #consumerism —and waste — is at an all-time high. In the wake of #tariffs, #ClimateChange, and rapidly shrinking NYS #landfill capacity, a rising repair movement in Central New York is pushing back against the status quo.
"The Repair Cafe held on Saturday, May 10 embodies a social movement shaped by residents, #activists, and community leaders who want to reduce waste through building strong community networks. The event was facilitated by #RepairCafeCNY, an organization established by the Institute for Sustainability Engagement ( #ISE) as an offshoot of the global #RepairCafe network. The group aims to reinvigorate repair in Syracuse and the greater CNY region by serving as a central coordinator for free community repair events in the area.
"Repair Cafes are not a new concept to the area. The last known effort locally was that of the Syracuse Repair Cafe, which was operational for a few years before the pandemic halted operations. With repair energy now reinvigorated, organizers hope for the Syracuse Repair Cafe’s soon return."
