Description

This week on Everybody in the Pool, the best possible climate solution for the lazy among you: just never get rid of your stuff. Molly talks with Kyle Wiens of iFixit, the how-to and repair manual site that teaches you how to fix and restore everything from laptops to phones to wigs to purses and shoes. Kyle is also the de facto leader of the Right to Repair movement, which is pushing to undo actual real laws that prevent you, in some cases, from fixing your own electronics (by which we mean everything from phones to tractors). The more stuff we buy, the more resources we need, and e-waste, in particular, is the fastest-growing waste stream in the world, and it’s toxic as heck. Be cool, carry old stuff.
