This movement, which started about 10 years ago – but stalled during the Covid-19 pandemic – is gathering pace again as a kickback against the perils of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/overconsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>overconsumption</span></a> and as a response to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environmental</span></a> and cost-of-living crises.</p><p>"Tomorrow afternoon, in an industrial unit in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dublin12" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dublin12</span></a>, a repair cafe will take place, a community event in which a group of volunteer fixers will repair everything from broken toasters, kettles, coffee machines and air fryers to garments needing new zips or buttons.</p><p>"The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DublinMakerRepairCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DublinMakerRepairCafe</span></a> in Unit 2B, Motor City, Kylemore Road, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dublin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dublin</span></a> 12, is one of a number of repair cafe gatherings held throughout the island. Volunteer <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fixers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fixers</span></a> also show up for repair events organised in "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityCentres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityCentres</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libraries</span></a> and third-level colleges.</p><p>" 'I’d do a repair cafe every weekend if I had enough volunteers. I can’t meet the demand from libraries, county councils and community groups,' says Jeffrey Roe, a software and hardware engineer who also runs Tog Hackerspace, which hosts the D12 repair cafes four times a year.</p><p>"He says there are three types of people who turn up with broken items to be repaired for free at these community events.</p><p>" 'There are the environmentally conscious people who want to get things fixed rather than consume more valuable resources by purchasing new things,' says Roe. 'There are people who want things fixed for sentimental reasons – say a food mixer their mother used or a toy they played with that they want to give to their children. And then, there are the cost-conscious people who find the cost of getting something new too high.'

As such, demonstrators who enter onto pipeline property could face felony arrest and significant prison time. The trespass offense covers entry onto areas of “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriticalInfrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalInfrastructure</span></a>” that are not posted against trespassing or enclosed by a physical barrier, if any authorized person forbids entry. </p><p>See full text of bill here:<br><a href="https://legiscan.com/AL/bill/HB412/2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">legiscan.com/AL/bill/HB412/202</span><span class="invisible">5</span></a></p><p>Status: pending<br>Introduced 6 Mar 2025.<br>Issue(s): Infrastructure, Trespass</p><p>SB 247: New penalties for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StreetProtesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StreetProtesters</span></a></p><p>Would create a new criminal offense that could cover protesters who demonstrate in the street or obstruct access to businesses and residences.

Under the law, municipalities may prohibit spontaneous protests in public forums by requiring protesters to obtain permits in certain circumstances, including if the demonstration "will involve more than a certain number of individuals participating, as established by the municipality."

Preexisting Alabama law prohibited individuals from unauthorized entry onto critical infrastructure, defined as intentionally entering a posted area of critical infrastructure; the offense is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $6,000. Under this law, if a person interrupts or interferes with the operations of critical infrastructure while trespassing, they would additionally be guilty of a Class C felony, punishable by at least one and up to ten years in prison. This law also expanded the definition of "person" to include nonprofits, creating the possibility that nonprofits who provide support or organizing for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environmental</span></a> protests near critical infrastructure where individuals then <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trespass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trespass</span></a> could face organizational liability. The draft law was pre-filed for the 2022 legislative session in September 2021.

A single <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DataCenter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataCenter</span></a> can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes. At 200 terawatt hours (TWh) annually, data centers collectively devour more energy than some nation-states. Today, the electricity utilized by data centers accounts for 0.3 percent of overall <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonEmissions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarbonEmissions</span></a>, and if we extend our accounting to include networked devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets, the total shifts to 2 percent of global carbon emissions.</p><p>"Why so much energy? Beyond cooling, the energy requirements of data centers are vast. To meet the pledge to customers that their data and cloud services will be available anytime, anywhere, data centers are designed to be hyper-redundant: If one system fails, another is ready to take its place at a moment’s notice, to prevent a disruption in user experiences. Like Tom’s air conditioners idling in a low-power state, ready to rev up when things get too hot, the data center is a Russian doll of redundancies: redundant power systems like diesel generators, redundant servers ready to take over computational processes should others become unexpectedly unavailable, and so forth. In some cases, only 6 to 12 percent of energy consumed is devoted to active computational processes. The remainder is allocated to cooling and maintaining chains upon chains of redundant fail-safes to prevent costly downtime."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-staggering-ecological-impacts-of-computation-and-the-cloud?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">getpocket.com/explore/item/the</span><span class="invisible">-staggering-ecological-impacts-of-computation-and-the-cloud?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukesForAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukesForAI</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukesForDatacenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukesForDatacenters</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LMs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Datacenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Datacenters</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a></p>
