Vertical street-interview video for 'Right to Repair' advocacy. Various people discuss the importance of the Right to Repair movement. A PIRG representative talks about the amount of waste created from old tech being thrown away. A representative from Back Market demonstrates the amount of material required to produce a new phone. A man behind a mobile repair cart offers repair services.

Buying the latest phone doesn't just hurt your wallet, it hurts the planet. It can require hundreds of pounds of raw materials just to manufacture a new phone. And what happens to all the tech that gets thrown out? It ends up in landfills.

We hit the streets for New York Climate Week with our friends from PIRG, Columbia Climate School, and @BackMarketEng to spread the R2R message. Break the cycle, choose to repair instead of replace!

And it's great if you bought already a good repairable phone like the Fairphone...
