Good to see the movement is starting to make some waves in Australia. This is probably the first ABC I've read that mentions Solarpunk

  • Good article. The whole concept fills me with such enthusiasm to live in that way. But I repair shit for a living, so I suppose I already do to a degree. The concept of making things work without necessarily replacing for new, even if some 'rules' need to be bent to get there, I suppose is a normal day. I've found training new people, they find the idea contrary to their general expectations, to the point where it almost seems like theres a mental block they have to deconstruct at first.

    I'm pretty sure I ran into the concept first when I found the community on Lemmy. Another great discovery from the fediverse for me.
