It’s solar and wind and tidal and geothermal and hydropower.
It’s plant-based diets and regenerative livestock farming and insect protein and lab-grown meat.
It’s electric cars and reliable public transit and decreasing how far and how often we travel.
It’s growing your own vegetables and community gardens and vertical farms and supporting local producers.
It’s rewilding the countryside and greening cities.
It’s getting people active and improving disabled access.
It’s making your own clothes and buying or swapping sustainable stuff with your neighbours.
It’s the right to repair and reducing consumption in the first place.
It’s greater land rights for the commons and indigenous peoples and creating protected areas.
It’s radical, drastic change and community consensus.
It’s labour rights and less work.
It’s science and arts.
It’s theoretical academic thought and concrete practical action.
It’s signing petitions and campaigning and protesting and civil disobedience.
It’s sailboats and zeppelins.
It’s the speculative and the possible.
It’s raising living standards and curbing consumerism.
It’s global and local.
It’s me and you.
Climate solutions look different for everyone, and we all have something to offer.

Rough sketches for an idea of dual purpose covered bike and walkway, inspired by victorian and art nouveau architecture and decoration style. What do you think? :)

Coral reefs around the world are threatened by rising ocean temperatures, but hope is growing off the coast of Hawaii. There, researchers at the Coral Resilience Lab selectively breed corals to withstand ever-increasing amounts of heat stress.
Corals are tiny animals that have a mutually beneficial relationship with an algae that lives within their cells. When stressed by heat, many expel their algae and turn white — known as “bleaching” — losing their main source of food and often dying within days. Half of all coral has been lost since the 1950s. But some corals do survive these bleaching events, and they’ve become the focus of Kira Hughes and her team’s work. By selectively breeding the coral that doesn't bleach, Kira hopes they can increase their resilience from one generation to the next.
To scale up their efforts, Kira’s team collects coral pieces that have naturally broken off in the ocean. With the help of volunteers, they prep and test these corals, and eventually replant the heat-tolerant corals they’ve found back into the reef they came from. This year, for the first time, the selectively bred coral “babies” will be planted too, giving the reef a fighting chance to survive the warming ocean.

Solarpunk Spirituality - An Introduction
When I found solarpunk I loved how the movement embraced both the scientific and the spiritual. This year we'll have several contributors presenting their own experiences with #solarpunk, #lunarpunk, and the #spiritual. #spirituality #betterworld
Photo by stein egil liland on Pexels.com We’ve talked about solarpunk, lunarpunk, and tidalpunk a great deal here, and one question I hear repeated is whether we need three different subgenres or if there are sharp distinctions between them at all. For me, solarpunk, lunarpunk, and tidalpunk each embody the same values of ecology and equity while expressing them in their own way. They are parts…

Probably gunna do some revamping of my Spidersona, but for now, ideas about the universe he's from.
So you know how in Ponyo the world got flooded cause of like, sea magic stuff, but got fixed? Earth-5388 is like that but it was just always that flooded. Smaller landmasses for humanity so humans developed both floating cities and underwater cities ala Rapture/where the Gunguns(?) lived on Naboo. It's very much a mix of solarpunk and tidalpunk, and also slightly eldritch. The only reason underwater/floating cities aren't attacked by like megalodons and such is because of near invisible forcefield type things that don't really hurt but are very annoying to big creatures.

A Fun Post about Solarpunk Sub-genres
Lunarpunk
Lunarpunk is the sister aesthetic to solarpunk, but darker, I was actually surprised to see it has it’s own flag presented below. The basis is people moving to the moon and waiting for the earth to heal while in colonies, there would be tons of difficulties with low gravitational pull, constant unfiltered radiation from the sun, and probably even keeping warm, very compelling in my opinion.
Tumblr media
It looks much like the solarpunk flag, but unlike the solarpunk flag, lunarpunk doesn’t have a political movement attached 
Tidalpunk
Tidalpunk is basically humans moving to the sea because the land has been left unhealed for so long, it’s almost uninhabitable, so people are living on or under the sea until the land is able to start healing again/ Expansion in population has led to housing out at or under water that’s Eco-friendly and doesn’t harm wildlife, sadly this one doesn’t have a flag. Luckily it has an aesthetic though.
Tumblr media
Sustainable, ocean-based living? Yes please, makes me wish I knew how to swim though. To be perfectly honest I’m out of ideas on this post, so if you have any more ideas, please feel free to re-blog with what sub-genres relating to solarpunk you could find. I’m certain there are niche ones that I haven’t found yet.
As always, this has been @punkofsunshine, see ya’ll soon.

There is hope. I promise. Young people just won their case against the state of Montana. Ecuadoreans braved escalating political violence to vote against oil drilling in the Amazon. Brazilian deforestation is down by enormous amounts since Lula took office. They’ve invented hydropanels that synthesise pure water from the air. People are farming in solar parks. A ship just launched for its maiden voyage using rigid sails designed to mimic wind turbine blades. EV sales are taking off, and, more crucially, cities are re-assessing their very relationship with the car. By the 2024 Olympics the river Seine will be safe for people to swim in again. More and more people are replacing their gas boilers with heat pumps. Solarpunks are growing crops in their back garden and distributing them to their neighbours. Great tracts of land are being given back to nature. Young people are channelling their energies into meaningful careers. Pilots are leaving the aviation industry. Yes, the world is dark and terrible and full of awful dangers that keep you up at night, but we are a huge movement that grows every day in numbers and power. Your small actions matter. Our collective triumphs are increasing. Things are going to get harder, extreme weather will be more common, but with ingenuity, resilience and crucially, COMMUNITY, we can build an equitable world on this strange, tired old planet. See you in the future.

“Protected ocean reserves can mitigate both the causes and effects of climate change. Healthy coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrasses help mediate strengthening storms and sea level rise. MPAs also support genetic diversity, and are likely among the most powerful systems for encouraging adaptation and resilience among species stressed by climate disruption. Inevitably, species’ ranges will shift with warming oceans, but marine reserves can serve as stable “stepping stones” for strained animals seeking new habitat.“

Ten years after the largest dam removal in history—on the Elwha River, in Washington State—scientists are chronicling an inspiring story of ecological rebirth. Recovering salmon populations are transferring critical nutrients from the ocean into the forests along the Elwha’s banks, enriching the entire ecosystem. The Elwha’s revival is encouraging advocates to push for the removal of many larger dams in the region, and in the rest of the world.

Plastics - A Tidalpunk Antagonist
Plastics - A Tidalpunk Antagonist The chemical additives in #plastics negatively impact #ocean life and human health as they're eaten and move through the food chain. A #tidalpunk future will have to deal with this legacy of #waste.
Photo by Catherine Sheila on Pexels.com Plastic pollution is one of the biggest threats to ocean life. While images of chairs and tires on the seafloor can get a visceral reaction, it’s the small stuff that will cause the biggest problems. Plastics don’t truly degrade, but break into smaller and smaller pieces until they become microplastics or microfibers. The chemical additives in these…
