Episode 10 | Tim Murphy | Repair Cafe Toronto

In Episode 10 of Green Hearts in Action, we sit down with Tim Murphy, a longtime volunteer and community advocate with Repair Café Toronto. This inspiring conversation explores how fixing broken items can be a powerful act of sustainability, connection, and resistance to consumer waste culture.

Tim shares the origins of the global Repair Café movement, the unique hands-on format of Toronto’s local events, and how everyday people—regardless of experience—can learn to repair items from blenders to bikes. He also dives into the importance of the right to repair movement, the challenges of expanding community-based repair initiatives, and what it means to build a future where repair is part of everyday life.

Whether you're a lifelong DIYer, a sustainability advocate, or someone looking to make small changes with big impact, this episode offers inspiration and practical tools to get started.
