How We Build a Solarpunk Future
Hiya!! It’s a Wednesday, I know. But this is a special Wednesday because I just released a collaboration video with fellow youtuber Andrewism that looks at climate solutions that we can use to build a Solarpunk future right now. You can check it out below (as well as three quotes and links I found useful during my research)!
Three Quotes:
“More important than technology being the most advanced available is simply that it’s created and used for the purpose of building harmony and community between people, between species, and with the planet.”
— Solarpunk Magazine
“Solarpunk without the abolition of capitalism is just greenwashed Cyberpunk.”
— u/RunnerPakhet
“The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.”
— Murray Bookchin

Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week,
