Huh, for me solar punk actually is renewable tech mixed with also the mind set deemend necessary in the article (fully agree), especially embracing also e.g. permaculture?
e.g. the self-sustaining small farm, cutting down also a lot on modern lifestyle, but still some you need, and instead of the Diesel generator its solar panel + battery.
Admitted, solar punk leaves lot of room for interpretation : - )
- hosh 4y agoSo as an example, solarpunk generally look at centralized energy and food solutions rather than decentralized, local solutions. Compare, say, the various urban, walkable communities with green plants vs Auroville in India. Auroville was built from a wasteland, and over the past 50 years, has restored the ecosystem them, and in a way where people can still live well. We’re talking about hotels with onsite blackwater treatment (as an example), or reforestration with perennial food forests. Solarpunk, by and large, does not represent a change in worldview or paradigm whereas permaculture does.
