The right to repair empowers consumers to take control of their devices. With access to parts, tools, and knowledge, we can extend the life of our electronics and reduce waste. It's about more than fixing a screen; it's about reclaiming autonomy over our purchases. #EmpowerDIY #RepairRevolution #RightToRepair

While we picture discarded gadgets, there's a vast category overlooked, contributing to a global crisis. Annually, 9 billion kg of e-waste, 1/6th of the total, are discarded unnoticed. This includes cables, toys, vapes, and more, often ignored and improperly disposed, posing environmental risks. Did you know? The global value of raw materials in e-waste hits $57 billion, with a significant portion hidden within invisible e-waste. #ewaste #sustainability #environment https://lnkd.in/di8K7ajC
