Whether it’s our electronics, clothing, furniture, cars… we need to be using our things for longer🪛
Let's take a laptop - 80% of emissions happen before it even gets into the user’s hands. Meaning the best way to prevent them is to keep your existing laptop running💻🏃♀️
Celebrate #RepairDay by having a go at repairing something you own and giving your stuff a second lease on life! 🎉

Especially for stuff like computers, most people can actually keep their computers around and functional for much longer than they think. I'm writing this using a laptop with a 10 year old processor that's perfectly serviceable and with the 10 year old graphics chip it's even capable of low-end gaming. I'm posting this on a social media website hosted on a server with an even older processor.
You never know what the future brings, but it isn't like technology is speeding up (moore's law has been dead for a long time now). It's highly likely both machines if they're still maintained and therefore operational will be servicable another 10 years from now. Not for doing the latest and greatest big thing, but a core 2 duo from 18 years ago is still capable of doing basic tasks such as word processing, web browsing, and it seems unlikely that it'll change.
