At Community Glue Workshop repair clinics in Chicago, volunteer "fixers" help their neighbors to repair broken stuff -- electronics, clothing, household items... practically anything -- so that it can be reused, rather than being thrown away. Ally Brisbin and Carla Bruni started the periodic "fix-ups" based on the Repair Cafe movement in Amsterdam, to provide "honest environmentalism and community focus." Their project is the perfect marriage of DIY know-how and neighborly bonds.
