Imagine the place where you live--only better. There’s renewable energy--vertical wind or river turbines--and biodiversity. Equality, diversity, and justice are at the heart of your community, as people of many cultures work and live together. The food you
eat was grown organically nearby: sprouts by your sink, veggies on your patio balcony or in a community garden. You are best friends with a tree near your window.
<i>That</i> is solarpunk to me: a better future, grounded in real solutions.</div>
