## Caption

If it still works, why replace it?
New isn’t always better for our wallets or the planet.
I know a lot of things today are designed with planned obsolescence to keep us buying, but I’d rather repair and keep my stuff going as long as possible.
There’s real joy in using things for years, even decades. Being mindful about what we consume isn’t just sustainable, it’s freeing
