  • 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.

7.4: Enhancing the local values chain with community gardens feat. Doug Jones
Q: How does the network address food distribution and reducing waste within the community garden model?
By integrating with school food programs, creating procurement opportunities with local producers, supporting community fridges, and pursuing food rescues to redirect surplus produce into the food system rather than waste.
7.4: Enhancing the local values chain with community gardens feat. Doug Jones
Q: What are some practical steps for someone to start a community garden in their area?
Identify potential spaces, contact the current garden coordinators to join or form a network, review local policies that support community gardens, and leverage regional funding and free compost programs to get started.
7.4: Enhancing the local values chain with community gardens feat. Doug Jones
Q: Could you describe the Waterloo Region Community Garden Network and its origin in a bit more detail?
The network began with public health support in 1997 to promote outdoor activity, community building, and local food production; it evolved to advocate for garden spaces and policies, expanding to include youth gardens, donations, and partnerships with local distributors and food programs.
7.9: Writing (and Doing!) Magical Activism Through Solarpunk Fiction With BrightFlame
Q: Can you give a concrete example of magical activism from your own practice or from the book?
One example is working with a group to address a political issue in the astral to identify where rot or corruption is festering, then using energy work—like a lantern or drain-clearing metaphor—to shift that energy and support the physical action, such as a protest or policy effort.
7.9: Writing (and Doing!) Magical Activism Through Solarpunk Fiction With BrightFlame
Q: You've written about magical activism in The Working. How do you balance astral work with mundane activism?
Astral work is meant to enhance and support real-world organizing, not replace it. Grounding and centering the team, building energy in consensus, and then translating that energy into practical actions—protests, chants, and strategies—are all part of a holistic approach to effect change.
