Scientists in Belgrade came up with the idea of “planting” large tanks of water and algae in places where trees can’t grow. The tanks are 10-50x more efficient than a normal tree for the space it takes up and is in general highly sustainable, even creating excellent fertilizer in the process. You can skip about halfway...
I don’t think Solarpunk has normalised the idea that we could just routinely talk to animals.
Jumping from a previous post on education. Feel free to skip the first 7:30 minutes (which mostly defines solarpunk as a concept, I think we’re good on that in this space), but this seems like this Human Restoration Project is a good thing with the wonk behind it to make it functional. (extra linky just in case:...

I was watching this video, and the first thing that came to mind is how interesting it would be to the solarpunk community. It’s the story of a professor and his efforts to make a “cybertecture” island by getting coral reefs to grow on-demand.
In this episode we explore a relatively new subgenre of science fiction called Solarpunk, which aims to imagine better, more ecologically harmonious, futures on earth. In many ways Solarpunk is a reaction to both the real-world climate crisis and to the many apocalyptic visions of collapse filling our screens. Andrew Sage from...

This is a pretty neat DIY project to create a grid-less, solar powered access point.

Designers from the Netherlands but they are solving problems in a pretty solarpunk way.
Oil is out, batteries are out....
