Patagonia's WORN WEAR biodiesel repair truck is traveling to the University of Oregon!

The Worn Wear truck is traveling to colleges around the country to repair clothing for free and teach folks how to fix their own clothes. In an effort to repair more than just clothes, for this tour Patagonia has teamed up with the Post Landfill Action Network to create conversation and action towards a world with less waste.

The Patagonia Worn Wear repair team can fix about 40 garments per day (sorry, no repairs on luggage or shoes). All repairs are made on a first come, first served basis. One repair per guest. All brands welcome!!

The Earth Day celebration in front of Lillis will also include:

- OUTDOOR GEAR REPAIR (Eugene based!) will also be doing on-site repairs. They can take more complex repairs back to their shop for a fee.

- TSHIRT REDESIGN/UPCYCLING WORKSHOP! Mitra Chester, fashion designer from St Vincents de Paul Society, will teach people how to cut/tie shirts into new garments. Tshirts will be provided.

- Photo booth, succulent giveaway, snacks, and more!

Event will be followed by the Net Impact SPRNG 2017 Conference focused on Sustainable Consumption, featuring Patagonia's Rick Ridgeway.
