I recently paid $35 to get a new battery for my 4-year old ipod which I found expensive but much less expensive than buying a new ipod I also just came to terms with the fact that I can still use my microwave even though the light has burned out and is nearly impossible to access to replace. It's not just our throw-away society that is the problem but it is the manufacturers who are making products that are difficult to fix, hence forcing people to buy new.

I get my shoes fixed all the time, like after the winter months when the heels of my nice work shoes and boots are destroyed, for a few bucks they can fix the heels, no problem! And if you're like me and spend 150 bucks on a pair of jeans a new zipper for like $10 is a great investment!! Spread the word! So true!
