I've always loved wind turbines, I think they just look magical, but I realise I'm probably in the minority!

There will always be places it's not feasible but I think we should be making more space for community-owned land to grow food (and make better use of the abundance of wild-growing food around us.)

Obviously it depends who you're listening to - there's not really an authority on solarpunk (but I highly recommend Andrewism on YT.) The 'solarpunk' I have latched onto doesn't rely on the futurism. Its core principal is humans living in harmony with Earth, in any form. Flying robots optional.

I disagree - solarpunk is an ethos that goes way beyond the aesthetic. People are still figuring it out, and you'll never capture it in a single image, but taken in the context of the solarpunk manifesto (a real thing), it couldn't be further from white picket fence suburbia.

Your problems must become our problems to share, or they become fuel for a system that cannot live without them. Our space will grow ❤

Strong, resilient communities are no good to a system like capitalism. It's just not optimal for performance, and it's such an easy problem for the system to fix, when a "gap in the market" means you'll be bombarded with "convenient", lonely solutions to your problems.

Spot anything on that list that a large company isn't trying to turn into a commodity? Of course not. But if you can find a way to do these things without money landing in the pocket of some billionaire, our space will grow, and their system will shrink.

The answer is community. We lend, we borrow, we buy from neighbours. We talk, we learn, we transfer skills. We garden, we forage, we see where our food comes from. We laugh, we love, we support one and other. We imagine, we build, and we work together fairly.
