There are better ways of doing things, but they don't get the publicity they deserve. Future Mending Radio profiles the people and organizations that are already building a better future. Clothing swaps, pay-it-forward restaurants, experimental theatre, tech coops, repair cafes, DIY bike hubs, sustainable chocolate shops and more.

Matt goes treasure hunting in Scarborough (a suburb of Toronto), using the amazing maps produced by the Scarborough Environmental Association.
After visiting a restaurant, a second-hand clothing shop and a repair cafe and clothing swap organized by the Scarborough Environmental Association (SEA), Matt sits down with SEA's co-founder Krissan Veerasingam. Krissan shares insights into effective community organizing which could help politicians win back public trust and respect.
