One hundred percent agree! In my 65 years on this planet, I have never called for- or taken a thing I own in for repair, with the exception of front end alignments on my vehicles, because I don't have the equipment to do it. One small correction to this flier, however, it should read: "If you aren't allowed to fix it, you don't own it." Not everyone has the knowledge or interest in fixing things. And yo, #Sony #Photography, this flier applies to you, big time.)

![A flier that states:
Repair Manifesto
We hold these truths to be self-evident.
If you can't fix it, you don't own it.
Repair is better than recycling:
Making our things last longer is both more efficient and more cost-effective than mining them for raw materials.
Repair saves you money:
Fixing things is often free, and usually cheaper than replacing them. Doing the repair yourself saves you money.
Repair teaches engineering:
The best way to find out how something works is to take it apart.
Repair saves the planet:
Earth has limited resources. Eventually we will run out. The best way to be efficient is to reuse what we already have.
Repair connects people and things.
Repair is war on entropy.
Repair is sustainable.
We have the right:
To devices that can be opened.
To repair documentation for everything.
To repair things in the privacy of our own homes.
To error codes & wiring diagrams.
To choose our own repair technician.
To remove "do not remove" stickers.
To non-proprietary fasteners.
To replace any & all consumables ourselves.
To troubleshooting instructions & flowcharts.
To available, reasonably-priced service parts.
Because repair:
Is independence.
Saves money & resources.
Requires creativity.
Makes consumers into contributors.
Inspires pride in ownership.
