Hi Peter,

These are the questions in preparation for tomorrow’s filming.

_Peter Mui_

 1. What are the main principles of a Circular Economy that make it the
    exact opposite of a linear one?

 2.
    What is the main obstacle keeping people from partaking in a
    circular economy?

 3.
    Introduce us to Fixit Clinics

 4.
    How did you come up with the idea?

 5.
    How much waste has been diverted from the landfill thanks to this
    initiative?

 6.
    What are other benefits of Fixit Clinics?

 7.
    What do you think is the best way to get people to responsibly and
    collectively stand up to this global challenge?

 8.
    How is the US a favorable place for initiatives like yours to flourish?

 9.
    What do you envision for the future with everything being done to
    foster a circular economy in the country?

_Fixit Coach_

 1.
    What is your role in this place?

 2.
    How rewarding is it when you succeed in helping someone repair their
    broken things?

_Participants_

 2.
    Tell us about your experience if you have ever repaired something
    with Fixit before. How’s the ambiance, how helpful people are etc.

 3.
    Describe your feeling when you see your broken item working again.

 4.
    Repairing and reusing instead of throwing away is a major
    contribution to a more circular economy. How urgent do you think it

 Hi Peter,

 We’ll have the crew arrive at 8PM. We’re going to be attending only 
 one workshop that is on the 10th.

 Also If possible we will need to speak to coaches who are helping 
 people repair their stuff.

 Happy New Year,
