Quotation of the Day for May 13, 2012



"In Europe, we throw out so many things. It's a shame, because the things we throw away are usually not that broken. There are more and more people in the world, and we can't keep handling things the way we do."

- Martine Postma, who developed the Repair Cafe concept in Amsterdam. Repair Cafes invite neighbours to bring their skills and broken devices together to breath new life into repairable items.
