If you’re uncertain on what Solarpunk is, a summary is that it’s a collectivist movement that is about working for the common good with a foundation of sustainability and where we use technology and knowledge to care for all humans and work to restore and tend to the ecosystems around us.
Solarpunk means believing that we will have a better future if we fight for it, if we demand it.
This video explores the conflicting concepts in our modern world to Solarpunk, and four levels of ways you can make your life more Solarpunk.

The Solarpunk Scene
So often we see visions of a grim future, Solarpunk is a movement and sci-fi genre that pictures what the world would be like with a sustainable society built upon 100% renewable energy. I'm Lindsay Jane, and the Solarpunk Scene is my exploration of the expanding positive force that is changing the world. Check out my videos and the website to see what's going on, and I hope that you can join me on this journey of trying to save the future

This is the kinda stuff that keeps my hope alive! solarpunk is way too important to let die!

@TheSolarpunkScene Год назад

I'm so glad, never let hope die!

@MrFranklitalien Год назад

what bothers me with solarpunk is that most of the content being produced orbiting this concept stem from fashion or other form of esthetic statements with little to no output of tools, assets or anything as tangibly useful as the movement proclaims itself to be.

@flash_flood_area Год назад

That's kind of inevitable and can just be accepted and ignored. Fashion and other aesthetic statements are forms of signaling to others. This is natural for humans to want to do, especially within large populations. In its best form, it's an attempt to "find the others" who share your beliefs and values. In its worst form, it is a way of hypocritical virtue signaling, and can also be turned into a commodity by cynical entities. Personally, I think it just has to be accepted that some people are going to be hypocritical, and some are cynical. Imho, it's best to just ignore that, and to focus on how fashion and aesthetics can get more people interested in a concept they weren't previously aware of.

@recycledwaste8737 Год назад

It would be pretty cool if some people gathered together resources to make practical Solarpunk inspired tools and distributed them amongst their community. Unfortunately, very few people have those resources at their disposal.

@flash_flood_area Год назад

@@recycledwaste8737 Some of that is happening, fortunately; but, like you say, it requires a lot from those who have the knowledge. Building community can overcome some of that, since those without knowledge can maybe donate or barter, in order to support the efforts of the group. I see a lot happening in my own city, actually. Despite the predominant unsustainable infrastructure, some local efforts have even gotten the city government to get on board with sustainable landscaping, better infrastructure for biking and bus riding, etc. It's not NEARLY enough, but it shows that attitudes can be shifted, even at the level of municipal government, which usually caters mainly to concepts of "growth" and the interests of big business.

Also LIBRARYS get your library card and use it. This will encourage local governments to find it and libraries are SUPER Solarpunk. Another tip. If you use a razor to shave you can strop (look it up) the blade to get more life out of it. I have been using the same "disposable" razor for over five years now. Just wash and disinfect it as you use it

Not "a tree hugger" not a "vegan" not a lot of things, now I have an idea of what may be my world view - sort of "solar powered-locally produced-anti centralist, anti-elitist, anti-dynastic, anti-one-use-anything, anti-throw-away-society, generalist-driven, circular-peraculture" - been wondering how to define it in a way others can relate to. Maybe solarpunk is my new term, still evolving.

@Tamales21 Год назад

Anybody interested in Solarpunk please look into Earthen Construction. I have a soft spot in my heart for CEB - Compressed Earth Block house myself. There is no Solarpunk future without Earthen houses. Not only do they fit every goal of the movement they are also a very practical choice for home building Compressed Earth Block houses are... Fire proof (dirt doesn't burn) Pest resistant (mice and roaches can't live in your walls if your walls are solid Earth) Cheap (literally dirt cheap) Stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. (Just like adobe. This reduces or eliminates carbon that would have been used to heat or cool the house over the hundreds of years these houses last.) Super low embodied energy. Last forever. Please look into it. This is our future we are fighting for.

@TheSolarpunkScene Год назад

Absolutely! I have other videos talking about solarpunk communities and buildings and feature several earthships in them. :) They're a fantastic construction method.

There are other methods like Rammed Earth and my best buddy Compressed Earth Blocks that cities are ok with. I need to try to get Compressed Earth Block houses a tax break in my city. I'm in Texas. We had to have brown outs last summer because AC usage peaks during the hottest part of the day. I imagine cities would want houses that kept themselves cool.

Don't forget Cob!

@sterlingoldemeyer1203 2 месяца назад

I also like cob as well. But CEB is cool because it allows builders to think in terms of straight lines and should be a bit more familiar to people. Also ceb seems a bit less complicated for mixing ingredients but higher on the tools necessary to accomplish the build. I live in Colorado and can not believe that all single family homes aren't adobe or CEB. The native people who lived in this region knew how to build (when they chose to make permanent settlements) they were not made of sticks.

big no no on zoos. Zoos are the epitome of colonial "collection" culture and ethical zoos do literally not exist. Other than that some cool new ideas i havent thought about yet :) Tho changing what and how you personally consume wont change the world, so the first two ones, voting and joining a union are def the most important imo.

@solarpunknes 12 дней назад

A lot of zoos (at least where I am from) are animals that physically cannot be released into the wild due to missing limbs, disabilities, etc. It is possible to have an ethical zoo as long as the animals aren't capable of surviving in the wild and are treated well, with plenty of enrichment and care. Don't get me wrong: having able-bodied animals that are capable of surviving on their own is cruel and unethical. I'm specifically talking about animals that, for one reason or another, cannot be released safely and are instead given a home that is well maintained and spacious.

@serendripity2498 12 дней назад

@@solarpunknes most animals in zoos are not able to survive in the wild simply BECAUSE they spent their whole life in captiity. Its a neverending cycle. I get your point, and I do think theres ethical ways like wildlife reserves, but the vast majority of zoos are not like that at all. The impact Zoos have on wildlife preservation is, againts their own claims, actually close to zero.

I love the concept of Solarpunk, yet i find it to be... Less punk than it needs to be. The anticapitalism of it is beautiful and I've ALWAYS supported that 🤘. But the concept of "Personal Carbon Footprint" idea was literally STARTED by big oil in the 1970's to pass of the blame of its own evils to the consumer. ((You can Google radio/tv commercials of oil companies that started the CFP system in the 70s)). Real change will come from mass government changes, or massive attacks on the largest non-ecofriendly companies funding. Until their money is messed with, or regulations force it, the Capitalist Industrial Systems will not change. LOVE that you included Vote as number 1 because its the only real thing in the entire list that will have a big enough ripple to do anything substantial.

Wow, I been living Solar-punk all this time, but never even knew the term! LOL. My idea - don't buy anything that you can't dispose of. Example: I buy my fish from a butcher shop wrapped in newspaper, and I like the evening fire with the paper after we eat. Funny part, I had to bring my own newspaper to do this, but the butcher soon saw poeple notice my non-plastic approach and they started offering the newspaper as an option - it grew from there!

@lug358 Год назад

Personally, i dont understand the zoo point and how it relates to solarpunk. Zoos are literally a capitalist circus in which they capitalize out of taking wild animals and fuel animal trafficking. Animals deserve to be in their natural habitat, and if they need support, i would say actually to search for animal sanctuaries. Some animal sanctuaries are for farm animals, and there are also others that save wild animals from circuses and zoos. An animal sanctuary takes care of their needs and makes a safe space for them, they do not capitalize out of people visiting and such.

@TheSolarpunkScene Год назад

Hi @lug811! It really does depend on the zoo. Zoos that are associated with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, such as the Toronto Zoo are dedicated to conservation and animal welfare. There's a reason why I made a point of stating to research the zoo and how they treat their animals. Zoos, if set up properly with said focus on conservation and welfare, can provide spaces for education and appreciation of nature. With animal sanctuaries, you have to be careful as they are not federally regulated as zoos are. Hence ending up with places like are featured in Tiger King. It really depends on the individual place, and its why it's important to do your research about the location and their ethics. Here are some articles talking further on the matter, one from the AZA and one from National Geographic: Why Zoos and Aquariums are Beneficial www.aza.org/connect-stories/stories/benefits-of-zoos?locale=en Are Wildlife Sanctuaries Good for Animals? www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/140320-animal-sanctuary-wildlife-exotic-tiger-zoo

One might argue that solarpunk romanticizes technology in the same way it claims anarcho primitivism romanticizes the past. Perhaps both have valuable insight and balance each other out. I'm also not a fan of making solarpunk activist or political, unless the individual chooses. Christian monks live radical solarpunk existences for example but would not favor activism. It is all interesting to see it all evolve though.

Thank you for making this channel and this video! Just a note about 4:50 "Romanticization of indigenous culture": Many indigenous cultures have/had advanced ecological technologies developed with R&D periods of thousands of years which are being researched now by scientists involved in biomimicry, engineering, biology, chemistry etc... Everyday new research is being published. Also, "Globally, the UN recognizes that Indigenous peoples protect 80% of the world’s remaining biodiversity and scientists have shown that Indigenous management practices in Brazil, Canada, and Australia provides the same level of ecosystem support and protection as any imposed protected area" Quote from Andrewism "What Does It Mean To Be Indigenous?". Today's unsustainable economy that you speak against is very arrogant with it's attitude of - Humanity is above nature and nature is there to serve and be used by it. I feel the sentence you said "Romanticization of indigenous culture" can seem suggestive to that same old arrogance. (I'm aware that i'm taking what you said out of context when you were talking specifically about AnarchoPrimitivism, but still feel it's important. Also I guess you already knew this, like in your video "How to Make Seed Bombs" you mentioned the old Japanese knowledge.) I believe that for Solarpunk to succeed we have to learn a lot from indigenous cultures. For example, I would love to see a conversation between Solarpunk activist and Dr. Lyla June regarding traditional land stewardship practices. Thank you :)

One of the reasons is governmental subsdidy of products that are sufferng from "Demand and Supply" (Gas or Milk for example). That's where politics comes in place. Vote.

Animals in Zoos are cute and fascinating to look at, yeah, but they are most of the time neither native nor are they free. Why not extend the thought of being against oppression to animals? Even if Zoos tell people, that the money they make is being used to support projects helping endangered animals etc.; i just don't get, why we have to goggle at animals behind windows, behind bars, behind idk wide bodies of water AND walls, it feels icky.

They do a lot of good work, and have a huge focus on providing safe, healthy environments for their creatures. Zoos are often a place for people to be exposed to other living beings that they wouldn't have had a chance otherwise, and can foster a passion for nature in urban environments. There are a lot of shit zoos out there, and it's important that we hold them accountable to improve the conditions that they have for our fellow living beings, or shut them down if it isn't good enough.

What is your position on veganism, ie the way of living that excludes the exploitation and cruelty of animals? The lead researcher (Joseph Poore) of the most comprehensive study ever conducted on the relation between food and climate from Oxford University titled "Reducing food’s environmental impacts through producers and consumers" said going vegan is probably the single best thing you personally can do to reduce your environmental footprint. And this is without taking into account the ethical and justice issues regarding producing sentient beings to exploit and kill of course.

Hi Luis! I will be doing a video in the future discussing meat consumption to fully elaborate on my position on it. I've read over that paper: www.researchgate.net/profile/Joseph-Poore/publication/325532198_Reducing_food's_environmental_impacts_through_producers_and_consumers/links/5dde940ca6fdcc2837f02458/Reducing-foods-environmental-impacts-through-producers-and-consumers.pdf To be perfectly blunt, being vegan is not accessible to everyone, often for medical reasons. You have made your stance perfectly clear while asking mine, so all I can say in response is that I hope you keep an eye out for when I do release a video about it. :)

@@TheSolarpunkScene hi! Thank you for replying and for checking out the study! 🙂 I'll be sure to keep an eye on that new vid 👍 until then if you have any questions, as you may have guessed, I'm a vegan and environmental activist for more than 5 years now. Just to throw a bit of info out there, all the major nutritional authorities around the world give a green light to vegan diets for all stages of life, including the largest one on earth with more than 100.000 health professionals the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. I don't think I can post URLs like you did above but you can easily find a very short summary of their position by asking "academy of Nutrition and Dietetics position on vegan diets" the summary is really short like just 3 or 4 sentences. I hope you find it useful! Thanks again 🙏

@@TheSolarpunkSceneThat’s just factually not true. If by some freak chance that a vegan diet lack some necessary ingredient that somebody required for their particular condition and that ingredient originated from animal sources then there is likely no reason why it cannot be produced in the lab and taken as temporary supplementation. There are cases of those in certain geographical places that lack adequate resources to sustain a vegan diet but in a solarpunk model, there is no reason that should be an issue.

@Liliquan Год назад

@@TheSolarpunkScene It’s clear by your answer that you likely aren’t vegan and supposedly have a justification for it. A justification that shouldn’t need a video to communicate. A few sentences would be sufficient.

Man this whole thing really made so much sense EXCEPT the union thing.... 😅 idk if its in my country but a union is basically an undercover charity bs yarn. They make money and provide nothing? I find unions are the polar opposite to everything mentioned here. They're quite literally the opposite of solar punk. I found that really bizzare.

"We use technology and knowledge to care for all humans". Nature provides all that humans need to care for themselves.

@phoebeel 8 месяцев назад

Not right now though. We do not have enough natural (like actually natural) resources to feed people in cities. Poor people do not have resources or knowledge to simply sustain themselves. For transport of food to cities, you need technology. If you don't think about this issue, you are partly buying into the eugenics propaganda

"Capitalism is a zero-sum system" is exactly the opposite of the truth. Capitalism requires continuous growth of monetary value (although not necessarily material inputs) to provide profits. i.e. if the monetary value of wealth becomes fixed (zero sum), profits can't exist. Production must also grow with population, to maintain living standard parity.

@LongDefiant 4 месяца назад

But if you pay the worker less, the owner gets more, right?

@crawkn 4 месяца назад

@@LongDefiant That may be true in the short term, although not necessarily. As a general rule, better paid employees are also more productive, because the labor market is the same as any market in that you get what you pay for. Capitalism, when it is well regulated and optimized, functions on the principle of mutual benefit. Exploitative interactions may result in short-term gain for one party, but compromise the ability of the other party to continue to participate in the market. Employees also function as consumers of products, whether directly or indirectly. The purpose of economic activity is to provide for the needs and wants of the population, and the size of the economy ("the pie") depends on the ability of every participant to acquire those needs and wants sustainably. The inefficiency of the economy in achieving that purpose is compromised by the tragedy of the commons. What may benefit one at the expense of the other is also at the expense of the system as a whole, which cannot be optimized while such imbalances are allowed to persist. Violations of mutually beneficial exchange limit the viability of the economy. However this is not a feature unique to capitalism, it is a feature of human interaction. In communist systems, exploitation occurs by a different means, primarily official corruption, but the results are evident in the system's failure to provide consumer products abundantly. As a generality, purist systems, whether unregulated laisez-faire capitalism, or communism which prohibits property rights and profit, fail to achieve production adequate to the needs of the population. Addressing externalities is an inherently long-term common benefit, with short-term costs. Only hybrid systems, actively managed, have potential to achieve optimal benefit to humankind.
