?? On October 26th, Zero Waste San Diego teamed up with ClicBitz, I Love A Clean San Diego, Republic Services, and the City of Carlsbad to bring a spooktacular Halloween-themed SD Fixit Clinic Reuse & Repair Fair! ?? Attendees didn’t just get to repair their favorite items—they could also recycle e-waste, swap old Halloween costumes for “new-to-them” finds, and even learn to sew superhero capes and trick-or-treat bags from upcycled prom dresses and Halloween fabric! ???? This event was proof that collaboration with like-minded organizations is key to creating fun, hands-on learning experiences that support sustainability and our community. ???? Because teamwork truly makes the dream work! ? The real highlight? Watching young heroes-in-training at the sewing machines, totally focused and lighting up with excitement. Parents beamed as they saw their kids not only learning new skills but also embracing the joy of creation. Once those capes were finished? It turned into a mini superhero convention, with kids zooming around, capes flying, and spreading smiles everywhere they went! ??♂???♀? We also want to extend a huge thank you to Senator Catherine Blakespear and Matt Rubel for honoring us with a certificate of recognition! Your support and dedication to zero waste in California inspire us all. We’re so grateful to have you as our zero waste champions! ????
