Manifest Wizard
From translator: I recently bought a watch with a laser projector and read the instructions in the familiar phrase: "It is forbidden to repair their own." Earlier in the instructions written that at independent repair manufacturer disclaims warranty. It's the audacity, but you can understand. Now they are right, do not disassemble the device, even without explaining why. That is, just throw out and buy a new one. Complete chaos consumer culture.
Repair of things - the most common, discreet and beautiful form of creativity. It should be proud to believe in it. It is necessary to notice and celebrate these small everyday successes and help others to appreciate them. We made this manifesto to initiate a discussion about the importance of culture fix things.
1. If broken - fix it. Because the solution of practical problems of everyday - it is the most beautiful form of creativity.
2. If it is not broken - improved. Small, smart regulation can improve things in the years ahead.
3. Give things a long life. If we double the life span of each item, we will halve the amount of trash.
4. Repair means freedom and independence. As the master, you do not have to worry about things worn. Nothing remains new, so forget about perfection. [From a translator known programmer Dustin Curtis recently wrote an article about the six months he was looking for the best in the world of cutlery. For this had to read a lot of literature, explore the market, the history of these items, their philosophy, the biological background of different designs, and so on. And then he bought the ideal, in his view, spoons and forks. Since Dustin buys only the best things in the world, even if you have to spend months / years of their choice.]
5. Resist trends and meaningless upgrades. They encourage a culture throw old.
6. Do not allow the company to consider you a passive consumer. Every time spending money we vote for the product, which we wish success. Buy only products that can be repaired.
7. Renovated thing - it's a great thing. Any repair, experienced hands, or improvisation, contains a story.
8. If you have an idea, start small and do it well. If everything is normal, you can continue.
9. Grow your curiosity. Keep trying new things that have never tried before. It's good for your mind and soul. Do not be afraid of mistakes - they make success even sweeter.
10. People are infinitely different. Things must also be infinitely different. Anything can be improved or set up for themselves.
11. Disposable - it is a choice, not a physical characteristic. Plastic - not the enemy, but we have to handle it properly. Treat plastic respectfully.
12. Share the ideas, enthusiasm and skills. If you are aware of the pleasure of repairing things with their hands, to share with others. This is a gift for life.
