Re: Throw Away Culture
I love re-using the unusable. I have a 17 year-old Garmin Edge 305 and a 15 year-old Edge 705 that I’ve taken apart and replaced the batteries. I’ve replaced bearings in Shimano outboard bottom brackets. I’ve repaired many home appliances and consumer electronics devices (e.g., iPhone screens, etc.). My snow blower just completed its 27th season. Not only spiritually rewarding, but I managed to put my daughter through her undergrad and graduate educations with zero debt. Saving tens of thousands of dollars each year in consumer goods and repairs is smart finance.
