A fix-it man with dwindling days, saving electronics from landfill
Rod Burch isn’t sure how much longer he’s got to live, but he wants to spend the time he does have keeping electronics from ending up in the dump.
An electrician trained by Auckland City Council (back in the days when “there wasn’t anything in the electrical line the council didn’t deal with”), Burch spends every Wednesday volunteering to fix up lamps, printers, coffee machines, and toasters.
