"Each year, humanity uses more resources than the earth can possibly
regenerate, leading to the depressing holiday known as Earth Overshoot Day—the
day of the year when we’ve used more resources than the earth has made. In
2023, overshoot day was August 2, while in the 1970s the day used to come in
December.
As our cycles of consumption continue to accelerate, we are bringing ourselves
closer to an uninhabitable planet. There will be a variety of strategies needed
to break with our habits of consumption, and repair is a strong tool for doing
just that. So why are companies, which are quick to jump on the
pro-environmental and “circular economy” bandwagon, also restricting repair?
Put simply, these buzzwords and platitudes alone will need action backing them
up."
