“BEYOND REPAIRING
RepairKid originated from the Repair Cafés, but it has become something else entirely. Founder Cis says;
“The crux of RepairKid isn’t even the reycling. That was the trigger for it, but what it’s really about here, is what happens on the mat. There’s a vibe where you get the felling that – as a kid – everything is possivle once more. That everything is allowed and everything is possible. That you can sit here and feel; ‘I’m allowed to make a mess. My hands can get dirty, I can sit on the ground, I can try different stuff. And I don’t even have to clean anything.’ I miss that vibe. You don’t get that at school anymore, you hardly see it on the streets anymore. While kids need that. It’s so easy to do this at home. And that is sort of my message to the parents. Just put down a rug, grab a broken appliance and sit down with your kid. Grab a tool, it doesn’t even matter what. Even if you try to make something else out of a fork! What matters is that vibe, that atmosphere, where you really feel that there’s more possible than you thought.” read more:

Using plastic water bottles and our need for plastic
Many folks use it ONCE and then throw it away. That is totally unaware and unconscious, just look at how the oceans are suffocating and life is dying … from our trash and plastic bottles!
Shampoo bars These shampoo bars could replace the 552 million shampoo bottles we throw out annually.

TEDx Talks
“Single-use plastics like cups, bags, bottles and straws contribute to the eight million tons of non-biodegradable plastic that we send to the ocean each year, where it works its way up the food chain and onto our plates. Recent studies have found microplastics in fish, sea salt, and drinking water, and some chemicals in these plastics have been linked to obesity, infertility and even cancer.”

How Much Plastic is in the Ocean?
It’s Okay To Be Smart “Ocean plastic pollution is a massive environmental problem. Millions of tons of plastic waste enter the ocean every year, even plastic that goes in the trash can often ends up in the sea! Learn about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and look at the dangers ocean plastic poses to ocean animals. Plus, a few tips for you to reduce your own plastic use!”

Watch the following video to see what a NURDLE is and what the ocean is like when the trash has no other place to go!!

Published on Feb 10, 2015 Even though 80% of trash starts on land, tons of it ends up in the ocean, swirling around in a massive patch of plastic debris.

The Story of Bottled Water
**********************
When you make your own H3o2 structured water using Biotite Liquid Crystal Minerals, there is no need to BUY bottled water. Glass containers can be easily cleaned, especially with the Biotite solution ~ it kills bacteria! Additionally, we can reduce at least 2000 bottles that would be dumped in landfills.
NO MORE WATER BOTTLES! Do you want clean, pure H3o2 structured water or plastic bottled water from knows where? BUY NOW
FYI: One 32 oz Biotite Liquid Crystal Minerals, of treats up to 400 gallons of water! That’s less the $.25 per gallon!
**********************
NO MORE PLASTIC BOTTLES!
How does this make sense? Look at all these containers used ONCE (in most cases), often with somewhat questionable water and throw away where?
Often times, bottled water will sit in hot conditions, or on store shelves where harmful bacteria can form, just add a few drops of Biotite to clear ALL those toxins out ~ also, by treating TAP WATER you can “structure” it into H3o2 water easily. We keep a 2 gallon container on the kitchen counter with the treated water. That makes it easy to keep all our “canteens” full!
The next video with Jeff Bridges explains a lot. Thank you for your attention.

What is SUP?
“This video encourages using SUP (single use plastic) by means of recycling as the answer. However, the amount of energy (carbon) used in the process of down-cycling offsets any benefit of recycling. We need to focus on refusing, reusing (refill not landfill) then reducing and recycling. Plastic is not sustainable and not a viable option in a rapidly warming ecosystem.”
**********************
STOP USING PLASTIC STRAWS
It seems time to REFUSE plastic straws and plastic eating utensils and carry our own! 
Many marine animals have been harmed by ingesting the plastic. We saw a video of a turtle with a straw lodged in its nostril, it looked so painful when it was removed.
Our oceans are the other source of this heavy plastic heavy pollution. Fish are ingesting plastic and we EAT them! Where does it stop? You want to ask your favorite takeout restaurants to please change to paper/containers that can be recycled or reused or perhaps bring your own container for them to use. Keep a set of silverware in your vehicle and use them instead of disposable plastic ware. Having your own drinking cup will also replace that soda fountain and a need to have straws (or have your own that can be washed and reused).
“It may take a little longer to get ready, at first, but we just visualize the animals/creatures living in the oceans … that we’re helping, and it’s easy!”
Children are becoming more aware of the water situation ALL over the World! Here’s a video presented by 7th graders, it shows how very blessed we are, those of us that have clean drinking water and don’t have to walk miles to get!
