  • Btw, I’d appreciate if you shared it on reddit (I might create an account there sometime, more normies need to know about solarpunk/solutions)

    Solarpunk propaganda in recycling aesthetics

    The masculine urge to nuclear project posting

  • Aaaaa, I’ll get there! Thanks!

  • This is one of the cases where I’d just argue for nuclear energy. Too many industries and too high population density makes it very hard to use solar energy properly, they don’t have a lot of land either so land redistribution probably wouldn’t work as an alternative measure.

    Locally sourced picnics are solarpunk praxis/hyperstitions 👀

  • For your first point, sure let’s consider that the case, then the old panels can be recycled and you get more efficient ones, not a bad trade.

    Also, share with your neighbour the extra energy? Or contact your municipal office to pass a tax cut/payback? There’s so much opportunity there! (Just imagine if your city passes such an initiative and others adopt too! Less reliance on fossil fuels!)

    On your second point, yeah, we need more innovation in recycling technology. Hopefully we get there too 😊

  • I hate stocks, but I hope yours go to the moon!

  • From your link it, for me, it seems like emissions are platooning, similar to a technological S curve. Even if China and India are growing exponentially, reduction in other countries are enough to slow down the process significantly (specially if you zoom in in the last 10 years).

    It’s very hard to predict change, but I suspect the deprecation of solutions that emit lots of emissions is about to skyrocket.

  • Not just that, it’s a combination of factors. Sustainable thinking, independence, a connection to the world and self and much more.

  • Precisely that, hydroponics to be more precise. It’s not everything, but a great start

    I refuse defeatism

  • Combining yours and @[email protected] ideas, I came to the following new synthesis: [🦾🌻]

    It’s short, talks about accessibility, struggle, plants, the sun and depending how you look at it a bad ass sun flower hahahah.

  • Ahhhhhh ofc!

    What would be a cool affix to use in social media usernames to show that you are a solarpunk (or maybe that you also have an account on slrpnk.net)?

    Reasoning

    Adding an affix helps to better connect with other people and form communities in other apps. It also helps spark curiosity and recruit more members to the call to action.

    Examples of affixes

    • ⏸️ The pause emoji is used to indicate that you are in favor of pausing AI development due to security concerns.
    • 🔵🌌 Means you have an account on blue sky social media
    • /dd You are part of the “Don’t die movement”
    • (fandom tags) There are too many to count

    Some ideas

    • (slrpnk) Looks cool, but takes too many characters
    • [🌞🌿] Sort of techie, aesthetically pleasing
    • 𝙎⃥𝙥⃥𝙣⃥𝙠⃥ More rad, still 4 characters long, but not very accessible
    • [🦾🌻] My favourite so far. It has tech, it has ecology, it has accessibility and it has sun/solar. Let’s goo!

    Give me your best ideas!

    Or just quick ones / which ones

  • I have no suggestions of groups, books, papers, blogs and etc regardin global constitutionalism, but I have an opinion.

    Creating bigger and stronger governments will only lead to the protection of an elite that is way too irresponsible with their powers.

    Right now the vibe is against oil, gas and pollutants and in favor of sustainability mostly globally. It’s genuinely very hard to find someone that says: “I don’t care about microplastics, “I have no issue with air pollutants causing cancer” and “I don’t care we are trashing the ocean”.

    And this is sort of where solarpunk fits extremely well in. I don’t know if governments and corporations will solve the climate crisis, but goddamn I’ll do my part and help businesses and others do their part too.

  • Hello! I’m currently running an instagram page with the purpose to spread ideas similar to yours. Besides memes, I’ll be posting my journey making green tech projects (like indoor farms, a self sustaining moss wall and others still to be conceived).

    I’m fully convinced that in the next years we’ll see a shift towards grassroots environmental friendly communities that will shift the economic machinery to a better future. I’ll keep an eye on what you’re doing too!

    Nothing a little cultural realignment can’t fix

  • This week I decided that my next six months will be dedicated to making solarpunk stuff, stay with an eye open for me and hopefully it encourages you to create some stuff to.

    There is an alternative, it is better and we are already making it true!

  • I mean, they might be against it for the wrong reasons, but it would be better if we tried to fix the climate without aerosol…
