Hi all!

We’re a fledgling movement with a handful of members in Africa and then me who is currently in Sweden. We have some plans for various projects in Africa that align well with the overall ideas of the solarpunk movement. I’m here hoping to make new friends and learn about what everybody else is doing. I believe that change is possible on a global scale, and that the hegemony of the mainstream, greed fueled, centralized status quo can be challenged most effectively by a global movement of decentralized, grassroots communities working together.

Hello! I’m currently running an instagram page with the purpose to spread ideas similar to yours. Besides memes, I’ll be posting my journey making green tech projects (like indoor farms, a self sustaining moss wall and others still to be conceived).

I’m fully convinced that in the next years we’ll see a shift towards grassroots environmental friendly communities that will shift the economic machinery to a better future. I’ll keep an eye on what you’re doing too!

@ecoenginefutures @underatree@slrpnk.net That’s awesome! I’m so excited to see so many people working for a better future. I’m wondering how we can best help each other 🤔 Do you mind me asking where you are based?
