UNIT 6
Choose an item in your home that needs repair, such as a broken chair or a faulty appliance.
Research how to repair the item - look up online tutorials or repair books, and seek advice from friends or repair experts.
Obtain the necessary tools and materials for the repair.
Repair the item.
Reflect on how you felt while repairing the item and how you felt after successfully repairing the item. Consider how your household could reduce waste and save money by repairing rather than buying new items.
Example
Households often rely on chemicals such as cleaning products, pesticides, and medications. However, these chemicals can be harmful to the environment and people if not disposed of properly. One way to manage household waste is to not throw away chemicals no longer needed in the trash or rinse them down the drain. Instead, you can dispose of them at a local hazardous waste collection center or a pharmacy that accepts expired medications. This helps prevent environmental pollution and preserve the safety of your community.
