Capitalism is obviously destroyed but I read very little on “money”.

Hi, I’m currently at an eco-village, and had a discussion about washing dishes per hand vs using a dishwasher. I was not completely sure, but have read somewhere, that a dishwasher is more efficient (in terms of energy and water usage). I just fact-checked that and indeed, when not being super careful by handwashing (no...

So I have noticed from reading through posts and my own research that there isn’t much information on how mental health and psychology would be taken care of and implemented.

Hey everyone, our Solarpunk book club community on Discord just finished reading the “Solarpunk Summers” anthology together and we are voting for our next book soon....

I’ve been thinking a lot about rural places lately, since that’s where I’m from, and how they might change with some of the societal crumbles and contractions I feel...

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...

Researchers of the MIT developed a new solar powered passive water desalination system. They claim the system is low in maintenance and could produce water thst is cheaper than tap water....
