MASSPIRG encourages people to shop repaired or refurbished electronics for the holidays

MASSPIRG says gifting repaired or refurbished electronic products is a win-win.

An advocacy group is encouraging holiday shoppers to purchase repaired or refurbished products.

MASSPIRG has released a shopping guide it says will help people buy used items with confidence.

Gifting something that has been repaired or refurbished can save money and help the environment by cutting waste, the organization said.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with MASSPIRG Executive Director Janet Domenitz.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
