Your Right To Repair

Your Right To Repair

Stuff breaks. In 2023, stuff breaks often. Few amongst us possess the knowledge to fix the evermore complex gadgets we use every day; worse, professional repairs (if they’re even available) often cost more than replacing the item outright. What’s a sustainable minimalist to do?

On today’s episode we discuss all-things conscious consumption as it relates to home appliances, planned obsolescence, and the right to repair movement (it’ll be fun, I promise!).

Here’s a preview:

[3:00] An electricity primer: where it comes from and why it’s important to choose energy-efficient appliances

[9:00] Exactly how long our favorite household appliances *should* last (we see you, planned obsolescence)

[22:00] Energy Star versus Energy Guide: What’s the difference?

[29:00] Everything you need to know about the Right To Repair Movement

[36:00] Practical ways to maintain your appliances for longevity

Talking It Out

Why aren't we talking about the elephant in the room?

Broaching the topic of climate change can be socially awkward at best and polarizing at worst. In fact, psychology, evolutionary biology and modern day tribalism keep many of us tongue-tied.

But staying quiet isn't an option. Breaking the silence around our warming planet is one of the most powerful tools we have for systemic change. On today's show, author and climate scientist Norm Leo offers a formula for unlocking more deeply human, empathetic, and impactful conversations about climate change.
