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.

Q: How many people are you hoping to get in this study as a whole?
The researcher is aiming for a couple dozen participants, with in-depth hour-long Zoom interviews, not aiming for statistical generalization but for rich, individual perspectives.
