Et hop, je viens de publier une nouvelle version du fichier EPUB (pour les liseuses) de ma nouvelle #Velorutopia qui parle d'un monde en 2050 qui aurait réussi à prendre le virage climatique. Il y a du vélo, de la joie, de la musique, du suspens, des bourre-pifs, des gros mots, et de la bonne humeur. C'est libre et gratuit, et c'est sur...

"We started with participants sharing personal technology stories—EVs as climate-guilt-free mobility, pirate radio stations as creation rather than consumption, bikes as intergenerational freedom. Then we unpacked the narratives underneath: what myths, what power structures, what economic forces shaped these experiences?"

I loved reading these "postcards" from different pockets of the world building the solidarity economy.

- Lessons from W.E.B. Du Bois for our times
- The Cooperative Fund of the Northeast growing coop startups
- Reflections from the Black Solidarity Movement Assembly
- Tending an Urban Garden
- Visiting the la Centrale Agricole, the largest urban coop farm in the world

Doctorow on Solar Transition in far better shape than we're given to believe

"the material bill for solarization is in freefall, with no end in sight. The amount of stuff we need to make panels, transmission lines and batteries keeps declining. Further: the efficiency gains of “clean” technology are astounding — meaning that, for example, it not only takes a lot less material to make a solar panel, the panel we make out of so much less stuff generates a lot more power. More: we keep finding ways to substitute more abundant materials for materials that are harder to find or refine (for example, swapping out lithium in batteries and replacing it with sodium, one of the most abundant minerals on Earth). Finally: we keep finding new sources of the materials that we can’t readily substitute for"

My three little PV panels have produced a quarter of the family's annual electricity demand in 9 months. Sure, we are not using it all when it's produced, but someone is, and it makes me happy and proud that we are able to do our little bit to reduce emissions from power generation while saving a good chunk of money each year (once the panels are paid off, which will be in 2027). #solarpunk

@Discola Qué chulo el programa y qué recuerdos las monedas sociales como el zoquito.

Veo necesaria la innovación digital para la promoción de gobernanza vecinal.

@doc75 merci infiniment pour ce compliment qui me fait rosir de plaisir ! Et je suis bien d’accord avec toi, on en a besoin de plus dans le genre #solarpunk, raison pour laquelle ce travail est sous licence libre, qu’on puisse le remixer sans scrupules…

Charlottesville, Virginia, USA has an e-bike lending library!

Just... go and check out an ebike. Ride it for a week for free. And then turn it back in. You can check it out multiple times so long as no has a hold for it.

@markhburton @urlyman but in a #capitalist economy that precious green steel is being squandered on #AI data centres, SUVs, armaments and ballrooms, and consequently the rollout of the infrastructure needed to give us a sustainable future is being sabotaged.

#Solarpunk

Hello, world! We want to post a (second) #introduction, since we just moved servers. Solarpunk Presents #Podcast aims to #inspire you to go out and change the world for the better by exploring #solarpunk futures happening in the here and now. In each episode, @arielkroon and @xtinadlr interview guests and discuss topics such as building #climateresilience, #hope, actively working toward a socially just and #sustainablefuture in the #present, and much more - Come join us!

Hello fediverse solarpunks! We’re Solarpunk Presents Podcast, a podcast run on a shoestring budget by two lady solarpunks, one in Canada ( @arielkroon) and one in Germany ( @xtinadlr). We’re not great with technology, but we happen to both be PhDs from the opposite sides of the spectrum between STEM and Humanities/the Arts, and we’re united in our working towards solarpunk futures.

Our podcast is an interview-style podcast where we talk to guests and each other about various aspects of solarpunk, renewable energies, political action, and more. Often, our guests are people who wouldn’t label themselves as solarpunks, but are (and have been, often for years) quietly involved in working towards making the world a better place to live in. We strongly believe that once you get past the aesthetic and hype about renewables, solarpunk at its core promotes compassion, kinship with non-humans and humans alike, and grace for our fellow human beings as we all work together to survive on our shared planet.

You can support the podcast on Patreon, with tiers starting at just $1 USD! We host a monthly solarpunk hangout that all of our patrons are invited to, and all Patrons at the $3 tier and up receive early access to our episodes. There are more tiers with more extras, so head to https://patreon.com/solarpunkpresents to see them all. We also take one-time or recurring donations over at our PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=4QYBB8LGBC6FS
Even if you’re not in the financial position to donate, we really value other forms of support, such as positive reviews on your podcatcher of choice (it helps us be more visible and reach more solarpunks!), or subscriptions to our YouTube channel and comments there. As writers, we thrive on feedback, and we are continually trying to make the podcast better and want to know what you think.

As I’ve said before, it's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.
