Repair PDX at Sustainable Oregon 2016
For the first time, AOR partnered with Repair PDX to hold a Repair Café as part of the annual Sustainable Oregon conference. The Repair Café was open to conference attendees and the public. Out of the 28 people who brought items to be fixed, about half were conference attendees. Repair volunteers worked on a variety of items such as coffee makers, fans, clocks, lamps, vacuums, shirts, pants, bags and bikes, successfully mending and repairing 85% of the items they tackled – a truly impressive fix rate!
