An effort to bury a throwaway culture one repair at a time.
At Amsterdam’s first Repair Cafe, people can bring in whatever they want to have repaired, at no cost, by volunteers who just like to fix things. To some, the project’s social benefits are as appealing as its ecological mission.
Once an urban landfill, now a rowing paradise.
