'There is a bigger lesson I want to teach him.'
My son is the only child in his first-grade class whose pants have hand-stitched patches on the knees — and by this late in the school year, we are talking aboutI’m sure other parents wonder why I bother. There’s not a simple answer.
Patching my son’s clothes is part of my larger belief in the value of repair. Every year, Americans throw away 1,789 lbs. per person — that’s a lot of waste! — and much of it because they didn’t know how or won’t bother to fix it. Thisis depleting our planet’s resources and overwhelming landfills. I patch my kid’s clothing to teach him that our family is doing our best to reduce those numbers. It’s a little thing, but giving my kid’s pants a few more months of life is a way of showing I care.
