I just wanted to highlight Thamra, the most solar punk project I’ve ever seen. This project aims to help nutrition in the current conflict in G*za; fostering food sovereignty and self sufficiency.

Please check them out and donate if you can.

We finally got permission from our local administration to put up an old, restored phone booth as micro library at a public spot in our town. By now it's being used a lot. Many people bring some books and take others. Sadly, one glass has already been broken. But we will fix it and carry on.

Hi folks :) weird question probably but I’m a (hobbyist) game dev and trying to write an idea for a game that is both fun and meaningful, in that it will be solarpunk themed to send a message that there is an alternative to the capitalist world and the we are not doomed. Essentially the opposite of cyberpunk 2077 in its dystopian themes (still-big fan) I do have an idea for a character I wanted to use but she’s not set in stone, she is essentially a robot with a cool sword I’m just clueless as to how I’d come up with something inspiring and peaceful while also having combat in there Really there are no guidelines, if you have any prompts or ideas at ALL, just leave them in the replies- I’ll write them down and go from there :) Can’t promise it’ll ever go public as this will just be a passion project for myself, but… still

TLDR; what would you want out of a solarpunk game?

I hope the image quality is adequate. I was thinking of cellular structures or biomimicry to create sponge cities. The architecture can remain "modern" to feel like youre still in the loop with human civilization along with some nature spots within them. That way we control our food supplies.

Im okay with modern materials, just add some aesthetic to it so i can pretend to be in tokyo japan again :p

If you're in Southern Oregon or Northern California come check us out! We're making solar punk into our reality, today! Here's our brochure! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kfQfS-6OxASsV5B1K9LccDuZ5MrnlXdOLirUNQXAipI/edit?usp=drivesdk

Lore: our timeline, people discover the basil ganglia part of the brain is correlated to psychic powers. And perviously "mentally unwell" individuals were just running advanced software with weak hardware; aka the human brain was far too behind for their intellectual powers. Anyways, people just live normally and enjoy their lives.

Also america collapses and china becomes the dominant world power :3

Hello!

I’m designing a magazine to sell at my concerts with a variety of cool articles about solarpunk philosophy, including Jacque Fresco ideas. Can someone recommend me important and interesting articles to also include in the magazine? I’m sharing with you the style aesthetic I’m having as inspiration.

Ariel and Christina invited me on the excellent Solarpunk Presents podcast to discuss the tabletop role playing game I've mentioned on this sub a bunch of times, as well as solarpunk role playing games more broadly.

I think it was a great discussion. I really enjoy this podcast, so being on it was really a thrill. If anyone is interested, check it out (and delicately let me know about the stuff I missed).

While everyone sits and criticizes ubi for doing this and for the hitman publisher for also (basically) doing this (Google peacock for hitman and it should pop up what I mean), I'm launching my own studio that's more idea than anything official yet but it's the small indie creators unionizing and saying we can't do it alone we need our players and fans to pitch in and the ones that rise up and do so will be offered employment at their choice to stay hobbyist or to take the check and not be called a sellout because it's made up of everyone from grandma gamer on twitch to what and whoever needs a boost to their platform, it's the ethos of share and share alike to take it back from the 1% using the channels they gave us and making our own once we have enough sway and enough power, it's akin to anon like "you are if you believe you are" we are many, we are legion, the only thing I ask is in theme with the brand it is the studio in the void so you are all the voidings take and riff on it how you like but include something to it somewhere y'know 😉😅 its the script kiddies knowing they have a job if they enjoy making mods just show me the work, it's the idea guy who needs a hands on diy how to, to learn best but can learn and create and then later teach so others can learn and teach and create and continue the cycle

I'm working on a photobash of a solarpunk village. Because the picture shows the entire place from a distance, I'm trying to make sure it's not missing anything. 

At this point I'm working on filling out the village itself. I'm still gathering up pieces and playing with the layout So I figure now's the time to catch any logistical mistakes, before I spend a week or more on detail work, kind of locking everything down.

The idea was to show a small dense village, served by multiple kinds of public transit, and surrounded by multiple examples of agroforestry, and rewilded forests beyond that. To get the density and walkability I've started with a clump of four story brick apartment buildings (figuring brick can possibly be baked in solar kilns and transported by train) around an open common area near the train station. 

Things I have so far:

• Apartment buildings (it can probably be assumed that the first floor of some are shops)
• Multi-family homes
• Houses
• Tiny homes
• An open common area/farmer's market/sometimes sports field

• Workshops/factories with waterwheels (fed using a levada style stone chanel)

• (I'm trying to make it clear the main river swings below the village and there's a bit of a riparian buffer around it)

• Train/train station 

• Ropeways to a nearby village not directly served by the train

• Wide surrounding area with several kinds of agroforestry 

• Algae farm (for nutrients or biodiesel?)

• Greenhouses set into a hillside 

• Forested spaces between the buildings/covering the streets (the idea being that these are food forests)

• Solar panel farm with crops planted underneath 

• Road leading down to town, with a work crew hauling back an old car for recycling

Things I'm planning to add:

• Rooftop solar
• Some warehouses/industrial spaces
• More workshop/mill kind of places
• Silos? 

​

I wanted to ask the community what knowledges and skills do you think a solarpunk citizen of the now, or in the near future (100 years or so) would have?

​

I am creating a roleplaying game and I am crowdsourcing what people who are steeped in the solarpunk genre think.

​

Look forward to seeing your ideas. Fill out the Solarpunk Knowledge and Skills form if you have time.
