The problem with plastic

Today’s world is dominated by plastic-based products that are mass produced across the planet.  The problem is what to do after a plastic product has come to the end of its usable lifetime. Following the path of most other commonly used materials, plastic is recycled in order to be used again. The process itself takes time and energy, but the surplus amounts of plastic present pose a challenge to countries using it. Sometimes, there’s just way too much of the material to effectively recycle, so what is done? It is carted off to another country that can do the job, of course!

Another successful Fixit Clinic at South San Francisco Public Library

On the 30th of March, 2019, I attended a Fixit Clinic at South San Francisco Public Library. As usual, the general response towards this event was very positive and many people came with their devices in need of repair. Along with several Fixit coaches, I was able to fix a couple of devices and had a good time altogether.
