Repair, regenerate, revive! Communities across the Highlands and Islands have been coming together to learn how to repair their stuff. With consumption accounting for 26% of out total UK emissions every year (Office for National Statistics), repairing our old items rather than buying new is a great way to tackle climate change and save money. Read on to discover how the Repair Revolution is spreading across the Highlands & Islands and how the Highlands and Islands Climate Hub supports repairs.

Across Orkney, Jane and her team have created a network of community fridges to reduce food wastage and encourage a sense of community. The 3 fridges are located in Kirkwall, Stromness, and Dounby Primary School, so accessing a fridge is possible for the whole of Orkney. Throughout the day and evening, volunteers collect unused food from shops to stock up the fridges - they then weigh the food available each night and publicise this on their website. In a single night they can have over 100kg of food to share! By establishing community fridges across Orkney, Greener Orkney have created opportunities for sustainable eating with a community sense, and through this they spread the message of climate action, inspiring change.
