#13 Cake, Brew and Mend

from The CityChangers Podcast · host Urban Future

In our throwaway culture, binning a broken object and buying a replacement is often the easiest, and cheapest, solution. But the take-make-waste economy has serious costs – for the environment and also for the community. So, what would the alternative look like? We visit a repair café in Graz, Austria, to understand what it means to give an item a new lease of life, and why it often pays to repair rather than simply recycle. Featuring: Heimo Hartlieb, Andreas Höfler, Steven Toast
