Last month we sent Andy Burnham a letter.

We wanted to remind him how repair and reuse can save people money, skill up young people and support local businesses. And of course it also helps us do our bit for the climate.

And we're not alone in thinking so; nearly 1 in 4 MPs already support it.

But we need MPs to show the Prime Minister the support he needs to act.

Can you ask your MP to do this today?

Every message helps build the base of support needed to make policy happen. And sending one takes less than a minute using our ready-to-go email tool: https://therestartproject.org/campaigns/repair-reuse-declaration/
