This may seem far fetched, but if you consider that any item repaired for further use is not going to a landfill or generating extra CO2 in the recycle process, it is a benefit.

Making use of duct tape, glue or mechanical fasteners to repair items for a longer useful life is a simple way we can take action every day to curb our impact on the environment.

Take a moment before discarding items and evaluate wether or not they can be repaired.

By the way, vacation was GREAT! Now that I am back and survived my first day, I hope to get the daily updates going here again.
