We opened a Fixing Factory today! An actual shop on an actual high street!

People can bring their broken stuff and get it fixed for free. This will reduce waste, cut carbon, and help with the cost of living crisis in the local community.

It's great to see UK100 members @CityofYork tackling the #EnergyCrisis and #CostOfLivingCrisis by accelerating #EnergyEfficiency measures 👇

The cheapest energy is the energy we don't use.

We need a nationwide, locally-led drive to #EndTheWaitInsulate.

whether wind, solar or other sources, needs to be encouraged. Sharing energy, whether on or off grid, needs redesigned systems & regulation.
