Community Repair Events

Community repair events are a social and enjoyable way to shift mindsets toward repair and extend the useful life of products.

Encouraging and Mandating Building Deconstruction

Deconstructing buildings amplifies the marketplace for used goods, helps create new jobs, and limits new materials production.

Tool Lending Libraries

Tool libraries offer no- or low-cost access to home and garden tools and more, reducing cost-related barriers to home improvements and encouraging community sharing.

“Resourceful” Campaigns

Resourceful campaigns encourage communities to buy smart, reuse, fix and maintain, and borrow and share what they need.

Sustainable Consumption Toolkit

This toolkit was developed as part of the Urban Sustainability Directors Network’s suite of Innovation Products. Please note that this toolkit is not currently being updated but remains a resource.
