Hi all!
Long time lurker here on slrpnk.net and just signed up to participate more. I have myself been moving on a fairly slow but steady trajectory towards a life aligned with solarpunk values (although not with zeal or even the knowledge of solarpunk for most of this time). I still have a good distance to go, but I also have some concrete ideas in mind going forward.
So I thought I’d make this post where people could share their stories to inspire each other to take bolder steps: what steps have you so far taken and what do you plan to do going forward to live more true to a real solarpunk? What turned you onto these ideals in the first place? If not all ideals speak to you, which do and why? etc. etc. Anything goes!
I’ll post my story in a separate comment.
Mhm I just contribute to the Wikipedia… that one I feel is super worthwhile - it actually has been under heavy criticism by the US right lately, because they only want their version of “truth” to be the only one represented. Obv inconvenient for the powers that be, if there is freely available information that they can’t control. I’m not contributing on any hot topic though (mainly music/bands) - but I still feel like everything that you can find on Wikipedia strengthens its position as a tool that people go to for info.
A local wiki also sounds cool, but I have no idea what I would contribute there.
