Anticonsumerism is no longer just a buzzword — it’s a movement. 🙌

🔧 Repair Cafes, the Buy Nothing Project, right to repair legislation, and tool libraries are all dedicated to repairing, trading, and giving instead of buying and throwing away.

New York State alone has 100 repair cafes — more than any other state in the U.S.

“We want to change the way that the world consumes.” — Liesl Clark, Buy Nothing founder
