To those celebrating #OpenDataDay, keep an eye out for a new citizen science activity from @restartproject in April. They'll be diving into our data on vacuum repairs - and you can help, even by volunteering only a couple of minutes!

Good night from us! But we expect the Americas will keep #RepairDay going strong for another half day 🌎🛠️ 💪 And remember, every day can be repair day, if we bring down the barriers to repair. So join your local #RightToRepair campaign

Our manufactured products have big, hidden carbon impacts before we even use them. Recycling doesn't save us. We need to use products for longer, and slow the manufacture of carbon intensive products like electronics. Repair is vital to extending product lifetimes. #RepairDay

Some great messages from the "awake part of the world" (Pacific/Asia, Africa and Europe) to start our morning in Europe. #RepairDay events in Europe are just getting underway. Hope to share some stories and images soon.

The theme of this year's International #RepairDay: Repair lowers carbon emissions. The products we buy come with hidden emissions from their manufacture. Using them for longer lowers these. Repair is a crucial strategy openrepair.org/repair-day #ClimateEmergency

In times like these, repair is essential. We can't easily buy new or afford to. Today is International #RepairDay, a great day to share in repair. Events are happening in 25+ countries: openrepair.org/international… Or you can help a neighbour, friend or family!
