Journalism is the practice of getting news and information out to the public, and a journalist is someone curious who asks questions, listens, and gathers information from many sources to help people understand the world.
Episode Two: Repair and Maintenance
Q: Why might you even want to bother mending or repairing something anyway, rather than just throwing it away?
Repair prolongs the life of those toys, reducing their carbon footprint and addressing the environmental crisis created by e-waste.
