I know EU has the Right to Repair initiative and that’s a step to the right direction. Still I’m left to wonder, how did we end up in a situation where it’s often cheaper to just buy a new item than fix the old?
What can individuals, communities, countries and organizations do to encourage people to repair rather than replace with a new?
I got a 2007 miata. I’m doing everything i can to keep it running. I bought a manual and changed all the fluids and consumables. I’m also looking at an econobox electric like the Nissan leaf. If I can’t find something decent I’ll buy a early 2000s carburated motorcycle.
99 miata here too!
