[Margie Bushman, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

we saw these guys at 2013 Central Coast Bioneers, very powerful & fun 
message. they hold workshops, develop repair manuals, etc:
iFixit: Let's take back our right to repair! Help us get this 
manifesto posted in every workshop, hacker space, and garage in the 
world! Put it up everywhere. You can print it out 
...http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto
WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT
SELF-REPAIR
MANIFESTO:
REPAIR IS BETTER THAN RECYCLING.
MAKING  OUR  THINGS LAST LONGER IS BOTH MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE 
COST-EFFECTIVE THAN MINING THEM FOR RAW MATERIALS.
REPAIR SAVES THE PLANET.
EARTH HAS LIMITED RESOURCES AND WE CAN'T RUN A LINEAR MANUFACTURING 
PROCESS FOREVER. THE BEST WAY TO BE EFFICIENT IS TO REUSE WHAT WE 
ALREADY HAVE!
REPAIR SAVES YOU MONEY.
FIXING  THINGS  IS OFTEN FREE, AND USUALLY CHEAPER THAN REPLACING 
THEM. DOING THE REPAIR YOURSELF SAVES SERIOUS DOUGH.
REPAIR TEACHES ENGINEERING.
THE BEST WAY TO FIND OUT HOW SOMETHING WORKS IS TO TAKE IT APART!
IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT, YOU DON'T OWN IT.
REPAIR  CONNECTS PEOPLE AND DEVICES, CREATING BONDS THAT TRANSCEND 
CONSUMPTION. SELF-REPAIR IS SUSTAINABLE.

REPAIR CONNECTS YOU WITH YOUR THINGS REPAIR EMPOWERS AND EMBOLDENS
