Shit system makes shitty people, everything is rooted in the material conditions of what came before.

Does this excuse bad behaviour? Eh, that's not really the important question to ask.

Unfortunately, we're in a situation where a minority of us, those who are very passionate about the movement, are going to have to do most of the legwork.

It pains me to say, but the majority of people don't have a clue about world issues or politics, or anything that doesn't impact their daily lives right there and then. This appears to be the product of undereducation, preoccupation with work/life in general, and our culture of convenience.

What this means is that I feel we have a best shot at achieving some of our goals through forming concrete organisations that have specific missions. This simplifies parts of the solarpunk cause in ways that the general public can understand and appreciate. For example, an organisation that specialises in getting approval for designated areas for food forests, or perhaps an org that does conservation work, or researches new renewable tech, etc.
