Fo rest Street, Bellingham.\n\nThe Bellingham Repair Café is a twice - a - month social event to which you can bring your broken items to have them repaired for free (unless certain parts are needed). Over 50% of consumer items can be given a second life with little effort preservi ng resources and expense and counteracting consumption, waste and \"pl anned obsolescence\". Don't have anything that needs fixing? Just stop by and watch and learn or socialize in a friendly atmosphere with a c omplimentary cup of tea or coffee and a pastry.\nBring your children\n Recognizing the needs of (single) parents the Café is child friendly. There is a separate room with toys.\nHow do we make money?\nWe don't! We do what we do out of the conviction that it is necessary. And we h ave lots of fun! But we do have to eat. So for occasional salary payme nts and to cover our operating costs we rely on donations and on spons ors.\n \nFacts:\nIn the past three decades, one-third of the planet†™s resources, its ‘natural wealth,’ have been consumed. (millenniu massessment.org). Reusing and recycling are essential to secure our fu ture.\nFor every one garbage can of waste you put out on the curb, 70  garbage cans of waste were made upstream to make the junk in that one garbage can you put out on the curb (worldwatch.org). Every item w e can keep out of the landfill therefore will save resources far beyon d what is contained in the broken item.\nOn average, every person in t he US creates almost 5lb of waste every day.\n\n\nFor more information visit https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/bellingham-repair-caf DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20160203T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20160203T210000 CATEGORIES:café LOCATION:the old foundry WEBSITE:http://bellinghamrepaircafe.net/ URL:http://bellinghamrepaircafe.net/ CONTACT:360-310-8997 ORGANIZER:Kurt Prassé ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2270131720?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="David Ma cLeod":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/DavidMacLeod END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
