But when did we switch from embracing an ethic of &ldquo;Preserve and repair&rdquo; to &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s throw it out and buy a new one&rdquo;?<\/p>\n<p>This cultural shift occurred in part because many of the big brands we know and purchase have actively discouraged consumers from gaining the parts and info they need to fix their products.
