Repair Café Pasadena

Picture
In the spirit of moving toward zero waste and stewardship of our planet’s resources, Repair Café Pasadena links local handy people to folks in need of repair of all kinds: clothing, appliances, bikes, furniture, electronics, and more. The Repair Café is inspired by the philosophy of a Sharing Economy. We share our time, skills and talents to build a more vibrant local community … one repair at a time.

Repair Cafe Pasadena

Rob Hopkins, the founder of the Transition Network, recently called for Transition Initiatives to submit stories about how Transition is working all around the world.  Rob will present 21 stories at COP21, the United Nations Climate Change Conference to be held in December 2015  in Paris, France.

Sylvia, Laurel and Greg accepted the challenge! What followed was a Skype meetup between Rob Hopkins, Sylvia and Laurel.  A lot of stats and numbers were assembled from various Transition Pasadena projects. Rob chose to focus the story on Repair Cafe Pasadena. The idea that this project–Repair Cafe Pasadena–which has completed 30 events and has repaired nearly 1800 items, will be offered as a story to inspire others, gives us great delight.

What the participants have contributed to is now leaving the local arena. People from all over the world will hear how coming together to repair broken stuff can be fun, and can help create a heart shift to caring for The Earth.  It may inspire folks to participate in creating community by sharing skills and the giving economy, doing the things that make a difference in our caring about our broken climate.

Repair Cafe Pasadena is proud to present YOU–all the folks who make Repair Cafe happen again and again. Did you imagine that bringing your sewing machine or soldering gun to Repair Cafe would be an idea shared with people around the world?  These are the ripples you set forth.
Thank you one and all!
