If permaculture principles were applied to products and stuff, then stuff would be repaired , rather than disposed of, and objects would be repurposed to make new stuff.

A 2-3 week Repair and Repurpose course, similar to a 2-3 Permaculture Design Course, could begin to teach people how to repair clothes, household objects, technological equipment. One would learn how to innovate new equipment using old equipment. And the course could teach you how to setup a repair and repurpose ecosystem in your town.
