We want you to know about solarpunk actions happening right now
Solarpunk is more than just an idea, more than just an aesthetic. Those inspire us, but where do we go from there? How do we put the values and visions described in solarpunk fiction and art into action in the here and now? What does that look like, translated into the reality of our present moment, into the places and spaces where we’re at?
This podcast’s goal is to shine a light on the people working on making life better, not just for future generations, but for people—locally and globally—right now. Not all of our guests are self-identified solarpunks—that would be navel gazing. Not all of our guests even know what solarpunk is. But our guests share solarpunk's core values of sustainability, ecosystem restoration and protection, animal rights, social justice, and human rights. And they share with us their way of working on these things.
That's the point of this podcast: to present these people and the solarpunk actions they are taking, and, by extension how we can "do" solarpunk in the present, too.
Schedule
We generally post bi-weekly (no, not that one. The other one that means once every other week). We post episodes on our Patreon for early-access on the Mondays of the off-week, and then the episode goes into our regular feed the Monday afterwards.
This podcast is produced and recorded in part in Germany as well as the traditional home of the Neutral, Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples (a.k.a. Kitchener, Ontario, Canada).
