Born of seven years running pop up repair shops in New York City, Sandra Goldmark's Fixation: How to Have Stuff without Breaking the Planet charts a clear path to a healthy relationship with our stuff.
Join author Sandra Goldmark and Patagonia's Vincent Stanley for an interactive discussion on the core ideas of Fixation - like how to incorporate reuse and repair into daily life (and into a business model) and the political action needed to scale and support the transition to a more sustainable, equitable, circular economy.
