A repair fair is coming to Lake Oswego. Hosted by The Lake Oswego Sustainability Network and the Lake Oswego Public Library, the Repair Fair is happening on Saturday, November 15th, from 10am to 1pm, at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 15751 Quarry Rd.
Skilled volunteers will be on hand to help make repairs for free. You can bring clean clothes that need light mending, jewelry that needs repair, as well as small home appliances.
When I got my green designation for real estate, I learned the most sustainable thing a person can do when buying a home, is to buy one that has already been built. This holds true for our stuff as well. Repairing and continuing to use an item is far more sustainable for our planet than throwing it away and buying in new.
As always, thank you for reading the blotter.
