  • "The UK is, however, very special. Not only for its mind-blowing historical carbon debt, but also for its current, very creative, carbon accounting"
  • "We must take responsibility for our emissions, wherever they occur."

According to Pete Seeger, "If it can’t be reduced, reused, #REPAIRED, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled or composted, then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production". We couldn't agree more. #RightToRepair #EWWR2019

That's because Apple has designed the MacBook Pro such that fixing even one key requires replacing the entire keyboard apparatus, as well as part of the metal enclosure and some other components

It's not great for tech consumers that buying an expensive service plan is the only way to have peace of mind when buying a $2,500 device.

Ecodesign Core

  • product design that allows replacing key componenets with the use of commonly available tools

Nor did we design the technologies that increasingly exclude us. A few decades ago, a broken television could potentially be fixed by unscrewing the back and looking for a blown transistor. Try opening your smartphone today: they’ve built it to stop you doing that. It is just that technologies are blackboxed, designed both to control us (through data) and keep us out. The entire political and economic system is increasingly blackboxed in the same way. If it weren’t, we would be having emergency meetings in town and city halls every week to work out how to fix this crisis
