Also I found slrpnk.net and this is where I for the first time heard about Solarpunk. I was trying to figure out what it is about, but other than cool futuristic pictures I couldn’t really figure it out.
In Solarpunk we’ve pulled back just in time to stop the slow destruction of our planet. We’ve learned to use science wisely, for the betterment of our life conditions as part of our planet. We’re no longer overlords. We’re caretakers. We’re gardeners.
In a few words: it’s about imagining and working towards a future that is sustainable and with no inequalities, and it’s not even futuristic really, it’s about using what we already have rather than waiting for a billionaire with the miracle technology that will save us. It’s also rooted in activism and anarchism. You can also check out this video.
I had only the vaguest ideas about what solarpunk really is about. But it had ‘punk’ in it and the list of communities cover much of what I’m interested about, so I joined. And it sorts out, that’s how I found out I’m solarpunk. Maybe a bit heavy on the meat, but it’s self-raised.
