Congratulations France! The French government has set up a fund to subsidize clothing/shoe repair in an attempt to keep usable items out of landfills and save resources, not to mention giving skilled tailors and cobblers business to keep them going. They are paying 6-25 euros for the repairs which can be as simple as sewing on a button, to resoling shoes and pretty much everything in between. The rest of the world needs to get onboard with this kind of planning instead of continuing with a disposable life style that is using up our precious resources. People are the only part of the conservation puzzle that can adapt, we don't need more of anything other than learning to protect what we have before we're left empty handed.
