Community leaders, local groups, and businesses rally for the Right to Repair during free Repair Café
CALPIRG invited city officials, advocates, and members of the public to call for the Right to Repair
On Saturday, April 1, community members rallied for the Right to Repair at the Pasadena Repair Café. During the event, the public brought in their broken electronics, appliances, lamps, jewelry, toys, bikes and more to be fixed free of charge while advocates called for the passage of SB 244, a bill to make repair easier in California and reduce waste.
At the event, CALPIRG released a new report “Repair Saves Families Big II,” which finds that repair could save California residents a total of $5.13 billion annually.
Right to Repair legislation like SB 244 could also cut down on toxic electronic waste by keeping products in use for longer. Currently, the average family in California generates about 115 pounds of electronic waste each year. Across the country, that adds up to 6.9 million tons of electronic waste.
