Shall we have a Repair party?

In the summer edition of Transition Free Press, I read an article written by Charlotte Du Cann about the Restart Project.

Hence I will be looking into the particular issue of getting electrical goods back for re-manufacturing from next year onward, I found the initiative absolutely fascinating. Watching Jane Gunter talking about her initiative in TedX talk in Brixton (click here for a video) inspired me as such initiative redefine our direct interactions with people around us and our relationship with our stuff!

Now, I want to start repair parties in the Leicestershire but for this I need some volunteers with energy and skills to share.

So here is my call:

For handy, ingenious individuals in Leicester and its surrounding area, shall we have a REPAIR PARTY?

If you want to volunteer, put comments in the box below and/or send me a direct message on twitter @mlgisfree

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/
