  • Let’s Talk Responsibility

    Solarpunks must be skeptical of anyone saying it’s important to buy something, like a Tesla, or buy in, with cryptocurrency. Capitalists want nothing more than to co-opt radical movements, neutralizing them, to sell products.

    People shilling crypto will tell you it decentralizes power. So that’s a lie, but solarpunks who believe it may be fooled into investing in this Ponzi scheme that burns more energy than many countries. Crypto will centralize power in billionaires, increasing their wealth ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

8.9 Towards Solarpunk Medicine
Q: What role does global inequity play, and how can we address it in healthcare?
Addressing inequity requires fair wages and trade, meaningful involvement with local partners, and building trust over years to ensure that solutions meet actual community needs rather than imposing external models.
8.4 Solarpunk Presents: Lunarpunk Conversations
Q: What has your experience been with Lunarpunk communities online?
Aleya describes small, marginalized communities, challenges with age-gating in Discord, and a tendency for Lunarpunk spaces to be smaller and more individual-focused compared to Solarpunk groups.
8.4 Solarpunk Presents: Lunarpunk Conversations
Q: Did you hear about Solarpunk or Lunarpunk first?
Aleya explains the blurry origin, recalling exposure to Solarpunk via YouTube creators and then discovering Lunarpunk, which led to deeper research and community-building efforts.
8.5 Dahvia Hylton Jamaican Climate Advocate
Q: What do you see as the most important action for islands like Jamaica to pursue for a climate-safe future?
Local resilience and changing everyday practices are crucial, but the biggest breakthrough would be leadership from world powers to end wars and destructive extraction that undermines the environment.
8.5 Dahvia Hylton Jamaican Climate Advocate
Q: Why did you get into deep-sea mining as an issue?
I initially learned that this is a monumental decision being made for the entire world without civil society present at the meetings, which sparked my concern and drive to oppose it.
