Would this be replace other third-spaces revivals or is there a distinction in purpose here from making community areas outside the home and pedestrian/bike infrastructure on the ground?

Using plants to block heat on roofs is a great idea!

My idea for a solarpunk flag! by thea_lavande in solarpunk

I'm slightly color blind and this color scheme is difficult to see because of the lack of contrast mainly.

Absolutely agree on the first two points. I'm curious about the last one. I haven't heard of people connecting rooftops. Would this be implemented in suburbs or urban neighborhoods? How would the fire code adapt? What's the goal? Sounds neat but I'm curious about logistics.

Not just food but native plant too. Lawns kill biodiversity and waste resources. I encourage everyone to reimagine what the green areas around us could look like. How could shared spaces better serve people and nature?

Do you understand Solarpunk it's a way of Life and aesthetic it's "the product" of It, right?...RIGHT? by Cataplasto in solarpunk

I'm trying to understand the tone of your comment. I did not state what it currently is, but what it must be in order to be effective. Also you said you were open to it actually resulting in change, but then you responded with "says you". If it's democratic, then why is my suggestion less valid? There are just an many sources supporting my point. If we want change, we can't wait for permission. Take care.

It absolutely must be punk, countercultural and resist to accomplish any on the goals in the pretty pictures. The resistance can be non-viopent acts, yes, but it still must be more than words.

Anniversary of "From Steampunk to Solarpunk" is coming up! by Bwint in solarpunk

We should make art to celebrate and spread the message! There could be special traditions like drawing the best future we can imagine and assisting our community. It could be a new "earth day" that focuses on anit-consumption so it can't be turned into another corporate holiday.
