I keep thinking of the things I am doing to prepare myself and my community for #climatechange as "growth". Growing community. Growing soil. Growing a garden. Personal growth. Environmental growth.

Yet when we scale this up "growth" becomes something else. It becomes exploitative. On the national and corporate scales, "growth" means little more than "extract more money".

How do we separate those two concepts? The connotations between the two need to be wildly different for a #solarpunk future.

Technology will not save us from the climate crisis. We must do that work ourselves.

Technology will help us get through the climate crisis, because we are humans and we use tools.

Another poem from this summer. Our Rome may not fall gently, but it sure is falling. #solarpunk #hopepunk

~

For the same reason

The snow falls

The sun will set

The moon will rise

The snow melts

And we will not

May our Rome fall gently

As we remain

A #solarpunk #hopepunk poem from earlier this summer:

~

Deep breath

The most important rule is to

Do what you can

With what you have

Even if all you have is another morning

Another breath

The flexibility of 3D printing can adapt to the community’s needs, and we’re integrating community gardens, passive solar designs, and community education into the build project.

All through a nonprofit that’s been serving my community since the '70s, these affordable units will be built without profit requirements and corporate control.

Alright #solarpunk. Some people think we're small beans. Let me tell you about a beanstalk I'm currently climbing.

I work for a nonprofit community action agency in Montana. I'm working on sustainable, affordable, low-income housing using new technology: 3D-printing. Building with structural-sized machines reduces waste, cuts build time, and uses locally-sourced materials, making the project both affordable and sustainable.

I do not dream of labor. I do not dream of work.

I dream of gardens. Dream of life. I dream of

time to spend with those I love. I dream of quiet nights.

I dream a dream so simply quiet, chaotic, small, and loud.

I dream of days of sunshine and of heavy thunderclouds.

I dream of insects, mushrooms, water, soil and air and fire.

I dream the end my working days.

I pray my dreams aren't liars.

@pluralistic Has nailed a #solarpunk tenet on its head:

Technology will not save us. But it will continue to get better, and we have the chance to use it to create a better, solarpunk future.

[#]degrowth is essential for a #solarpunk future

Is that too idealistic? How the hell do we talk to normal people about that?

Edit: ☝️ That wasn't rhetorical y'all. Talk to me.

Mmm... Enshittification (which autocorrect just suggested to me) is pretty dang high up there as well.

Thank you, @pluralistic for those little gems.

Is #Solarpunk a map? It's a #design style, an #aesthetic, a #dream, a story, a #utopia, a #fantasy.

But can we use it as a map?

We can make a Solarpunk future out of the technologies we have today. Of course we can. With work.

Just a minute, I gotta play Everyday by Logic while I'm putting my boots on. Anyone seen my gloves?
