Presentation # 61: fixing things when they are broken and how it will be better for the environment.

My topic is about fixing things when they are broken and how it will be better for the environment.

We live in a world where people follow throw-away strategy. When something breaks, we often just throw it away and buy a new one. This is convenient, but it’s also bad for the environment.
Every time we buy a new product, it requires resources to produce. These resources include raw materials, energy, and water. They also include the energy and emissions associated with transportation and manufacturing.
When we throw away a product, all of those resources are wasted. The product ends up in a landfill, where it can take hundreds of years to decompose. In the meantime, it can release harmful pollutants into the environment.
So, what can we do to reduce our environmental impact? One simple thing we can do is to fix things when they
break. This can save us money and resources, and it’s also better for the environment.
There are many things that we can fix ourselves. We can sew a button back on a shirt, fix a broken zipper, or replace a fuse in a light fixture. For more complex repairs, we can take our items to a repair shop.
There are also many online resources that can help us learn how to fix things. There are websites, blogs, and even

YouTube channels that offer tutorials on how to repair a wide variety of items.
Fixing things when they break is a small thing that we can do to make a big difference for the environment. By
extending the life of our belongings, we can reduce the amount of waste that we produce. We can also save money and resources, which is good for our wallets and the planet.
Moreover, It can help to build skills and knowledge. When we learn how to fix things, we are developing skills that can be useful in many areas of our lives.
It can also be a fun and rewarding activity. There is something satisfying about taking something that is broken and making it work again. (Anglo American Mardan)
So, before throwing away an item we should consider fixing it instead. It’s good for the environment, our wallet, and our skills.
