Where my #Solarpunk folks at?
I've been wanting to create some sort of Solarpunk software that allows people to reimagine their city as a walkable, sustainable, post capitalist utopia. Then provide resources and ideas on how they may be able to get there.
Any takers?

Damn I knew deforestation was bad, but not this bad!! Truly awful that there's a whole logging Mafia willing to destroy that last bits of European forests (not to mention others around the world).
Really hoping this works and folks help the cause! Real world Solarpunk!

Utopia, with solar panels
Solarpunk began as a sci-fi vision of a beautiful, sustainable planet. Now it inspires Hollywood movies and real-life tech. Can it change the world?

Great video that explains a lot of my own issues with Government under statism.
This is exactly why and how corporations and politicians conspire to control and elevate themselves beyond the people.
Lawd are tools of the ruling party and rarely ever are made to be fair or equally adhered to.

I want to do 'street interviews/workshops' but where I ask people what their idea of a better future looks like and work with them on how we could get there.
I know it'll be more random than the workshops I've done. Still!
What kinds of questions do y'all think I should ask?
What ideas to share?

I'd like to take this time to spotlight some critiques I have of solarpunk that aren't just misunderstanding what it is.
I think a big problem we have beyond the lack of popular media (which may be a blessing) is the lack of certain voices.
There is quite a bit of diversity but we need more.

I'm so sick of this. If you don't understand it, just say that.
Solarpunk is barely ~10 years old. Meaning we can still decide what it is, and isn't.
The idea is meant to shift focus from what can go (more) wrong with the world, towards a focus on what can go right, and how to get there.
