Thank you, Mary, for pointing this out. Repair shops are very important and “en vogue” in many cities. Can you maybe share how this works in your shop? I know of cafés where people meet for a coffee and repair things, brining the tools with them, all this for free or for a cup of coffee (and sometimes a meal).

Ute, What a wonderful idea. Let’s see… It’s available in Kindle format and in print via Amazon (publisher seller is Gracefully Global Group.) If you order one of the latter, I’ll be sure they ship two SIGNED copies to you. If you have a different idea, please email me. Thanks Ute. I can’t wait to share these inspirational, hopeful stories with you!

Graciela, I would love to read your book and would be happy to write a review about it, here or elsewhere, just let me know if you would be interested. I’m very interested in solutions that support sustainability: clothes (affordable ones! i.e. big retailers need to get on board: how can this be done?) etc.

Turns out, THIS is a big piece of the foundation for future entrepreneurship, invention, patents and sustainable business creation. Here are the first ten case studies I’ve published in this five-time award-winning book/eBook. http://www.Latinnovating.com. I’m writing second book now for publication in 15 months.
