An aspect of solarpunk is that individuals and small communities can opt into this mindset and change their habits. E.g.: having your own power source, growing your own vegetables, etc. It's not only sustainable, but quite resilient; there's not as much dependency of a larger scale network. Switching to solar requires a nation-wide initiative (or something close to that scale). > The lifestyle of living in a detached house (or even a row house) is not available to everyone, on account of there not being enough resources to go around. This is true, but you don't need a detached house. A row of houses can also have solar on top. A building with a couple of floors and a few apartments can have a shared roof and garden. Sure, none of this works in a large metropolitan city, but living in a metropolis is kind of the antithesis of solarpunk.
