A survey indicates that 57% of Australians consider themselves DIY enthusiasts, often using petrol-powered tools that contribute to significant environmental pollution. These tools release harmful emissions and can produce air pollutants equivalent to driving long distances. In response, experts advocate for a shift to battery-electric alternatives, which are quieter and more sustainable. Australian governments have already banned the sale of two-stroke tools due to their pollution. Tool libraries, like the Brunswick Tool Library in Melbourne, allow members to borrow tools instead of purchasing them, thus reducing waste and promoting community engagement. These libraries also provide educational resources to help people learn to use and repair tools, fostering a circular economy. Additionally, repair cafes across Australia assist in fixing broken appliances, further combating overconsumption. Cities like Melbourne are enhancing access to sophisticated tools through Makerspaces, encouraging a culture of repair and sustainability.
