Solarpunk is often dismissed as a purely aesthetic movement - pretty pictures of skyscrapers covered in vines. But true Solarpunk is political. It is about decentralization.

If we want to become independent of the “Big Three” (US tech, Chinese manufacturing, Russian energy), we need to localize our survival.

And if your neighborhood has regulatory hurdles, infiltrate your HOA and push what is 'normal.' I am a sucker for suburban homes but the culture and landscapes are barren. Lawns are useless, biologically starved spaces that create a sanitized, monotonous aesthetic while fracturing up the natural local ecosystems.
