Here's an example of misuse of a finite resource by putting it in a #disposible product. It's a lollipop that plays music. This might give an hour of entertainment if that. Then it's straight in the bin.

That's more plastic and metal waste leaching into the #environment which needs to be put to better, longer-term use.

There's apparently not going to be a Repair Cafe in my town this month. I look forward to them, so this is a slight bummer.

To cheer myself up tonight, I spent half an hour replacing the corroded battery spring contacts in a $2 kitchen timer, and cleaned up some crappy wiring and soldering inside it while I was in there. Felt productive. Yes, I could have replaced it for $2 - but I like the feeling I get from keeping it out of the landfill and fulfilling a useful purpose.

Your city may have a Repair Cafe, too.
