Also I found slrpnk.net and this is where I for the first time heard about Solarpunk. I was trying to figure out what it is about, but other than cool futuristic pictures I couldn't really figure it out.
A Solarpunk Manifesto
In a few words: it's about imagining and working towards a future that is sustainable and with no inequalities, and it's not even futuristic really, it's about using what we already have rather than waiting for a billionaire with the miracle technology that will save us. It's also rooted in activism and anarchism. You can also check out this video.
Thanks for the explanation!
I had only the vaguest ideas about what solarpunk really is about. But it had 'punk' in it and the list of communities cover much of what I'm interested about, so I joined. And it sorts out, that's how I found out I'm solarpunk. Maybe a bit heavy on the meat, but it's self-raised.
