An economy committed to sustainability raises the question of more frugal, but all the more creative forms of supply. Repairing is both the most radical and the most cheerful policy against dependence on the industrial complex. Repair cafés are places that help people to help themselves, where volunteers repair things together with interested people, pass on almost forgotten skills, develop new ideas and network. The aim is not only to go home with a functional appliance, but also to learn how to repair it. Many people have long since realised that every repair - whether carried out by themselves or with the help of a repair network - not only saves money and resources, but is also a sign of sovereignty. Repair cafés, which have been experiencing a boom since 2009 - there are now around 1140 repair cafés in 29 countries - are setting an example against obsolescence and in favour of extending the useful life of products. This is because every appliance and every pair of trousers that is repaired does not have to be produced again. This saves resources and energy for processing, transport and disposal. Pride is gained in the responsible treatment of nature, knowledge of manual and/or technical repairs and an insight into a community that enjoys taking things into their own hands and repairing them. This module is intended to arouse interest in initiatives that are dedicated to this form of sustainable commitment.
