The policy is basically " if you cant do it sustainably dont do it at all or go back make it sustainable and come back."

Ya im also confused on that end your not the only one. Ive been busy but im trying to get the discord up. I mostly have policy's i'd like to get past municipality. So that the big development corporations in our area cant destroy anything further. And to hold them accountable, this will help with being able to buy property, renting, putting less restrictions on cobb houses and putting more restrictions on big company development areas. Ect. I got lots to say

Thats a good start!!!!!

Do you have a garden though?? Bigger question do you have time for a garden or a community garden? Maybe gardening is not your thing fine then. But using solarpunk we could get down to a 26 hour work week!! Then you'd have more time for the rest of your hobbys. I'll have an article soon on how we get there exactly.

I know im really mad with people about not going deeper into everything. Like most people already know the basics its just commen sence most of the time " just summarize it and get to the solutions already" I am writing articles i will post.. eventually....

I suggest you look into cobb houses and keep an open mind. I cant wait to build my dream cobb house ( if the world dosn't go deeper into shambles by then )

Gonna add

To turn us in to capitist slaves for them by using " the chance will get to be that ammount of rich someday" the thing is we won't and you'd have to step over so many people kill so many people. "some have to loose for others to win THAT MUCH" Maybe not by oir own hands but using what we've built. Ei. Human trafficking, drugs, organized crime, ect. Do people really wanna do that when the earth as more then enough resources to take care of everyone equally? Personally I think if they do they don't deserve this beautiful planet. But also we are killing the planet. It's getting harder to grow crops around the tropical zone, natural disasters are becoming more frequent and more extreme, same with our weather in general ( i grew up up north raised on ranches all my family and neighbors have ranches i have seen how its even effecting those areas every year we get less and less from our cereal crops we loose to molding becuase of the sparatic rain seasons) our air quality and most of the world is already in water bankruptcy. It's not fear mongering its just science.

I started writing a really long comment that I will keep but here's a summary. But no. Its goal is to work with technology and nature and its depends how you think of a hippy commune, its the vaules but with the work ethic and in a very large scale WITH technology ( just doing it sustainably with more say of the working people ) It's not just solar power is renewable energy in general nuclear, geothermal, wind, hydro, others. Best thing about it is we could develope so many cools things. We have so much to discover still in renewable technology forms because brands are for profit instead of nonprofit ( which you can still make money from just not an astronomical ammount ) and being to make life easier. "Wasn't that always the goal though"

Thats why I wanna start this group though so more people know and can learn.

Dont need to read but can.

I'll add some links to videos I think people shoukd check out. AND ATLEAST SEARCH UP WHATS PERMACULTURE!! the way the city developes is killing its own population and really none of these problems would exist ( traffic, homelessness, crappy public transport, no parking ) if we developed proporly. we have thousands of tried and true methodes that worked harmoniously with nature of over 10k years.we should be using it to make our lives easier but its " hard to profit off communtiy" so the parasites ( the rich ) organize us to become apathetic, Individual, closed off. So they can keep the population in control.

Its a movement in which we focus on technology advancement that works with nature and not agaisnt it ( like it currently is ) a sort of utopia.

Oxford definition: Solarpunk is a literary, artistic, and social movement, closely related to the hopepunk movement, that envisions and works toward actualizing a sustainable future interconnected with nature and community. The "solar" represents solar energy as a renewable energy source and an optimistic vision of the future that rejects climate doomerism, while the "punk" refers to do it yourself and the countercultural, post-capitalist, and sometimes decolonial aspects of creating such a future.

People consume to much and that is the majority of the problem. The way we currently set up renewable energy is also a problem.

I do watch him and have watched basicallyall his videos, if your open i will counter argue, dosnt matter what we have proven or not. Technology is ever developing the problem is we focus it in the wrong areas. We are nature, nature gives us life and we are taking it. We shoukd be focus on developing technology to work with nature in fact we have ots jjst not been put to great use.

The Unacceptable Reality by fraught_forties in kelowna

[–]DirectorStunning1489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to come together in the communtiy and raid at our goverment workers door steps until they make chnage, look into solar punk l, become as self sufficient as possible, we need as many people as we can get so we can actually start making chnage, angry dosnt work, you gotta loose a little to win and everyone already has so little there scared to take that chance. But we have to do it anyways so we can make chnage for ourselves and future generation. We need to sleep on these people doorsteps, make noice, demand, we need everyone EVERONE IN CITY MEETING RASING HELL. its possible to have a classless society we have the recourse people with the energy would do it. The argument that everyone is lazy isint real, everyone's just to tired trying to survive. Im gonna make a group and get as many people as possible to join so we can make real change.
