A local group is taking in old broken-down items and giving them, a new life and they’re doing it for free.
"I was a journalism student, and I had a lot of climate anxiety and that led me to start getting involved with sustainable Tucson. When we started, we only had about five people now at the events we have 30 people,” Baier said.
"The goal is to give people a free place to have their items repaired and the goal is to reduce waste, reduce consumption, and stop the consumption of buying something having it break and throwing it away and buying something new," Baier said. “One of my favorite parts is that it's of community and its fun and you can meet people and talk to people,” Baier said.
"We will always try to repair an item, but sometimes we can’t repair items, somethings they have things that are dangerous. Sometimes people bring in items that are locked behind proprietary software, hardware and those companies don’t like to share how they make their products,” Baier said.
