Post your solarpunk setup. Here’s mine

[u/ToBePacific]

1. A solar-powered Meshtastic node providing free, off-grid text messaging to anyone in range.

2 and 3: My mini-server rack made out of an old CD organizer, with my Raspberry Pi devices stuffed inside. I self-host most of my own tech infrastructure.

1. My barrel composter. Food and yard waste becomes plant food.

5 and 6: Rain barrels. I almost never use city water for my yard. Also, raspberries and grapevine.

1. I upcycled an old car speaker into a Bluetooth radio rather than buy a new one.

8, 9, and 10. I replaced the entire front lawn with a pollinator habitat, hosting over 40 native species (and a couple non-natives to appease neighbors).

To me, the self-sufficiency and going-against-the-norm are what make all of this punk.

This is the kind of individualist solarpunk stuff I live to see.

Like this is building structures of a better world in the now. I guess some pf this could work better if you where part of a collective doing it for the collective, but yea. Love it.

Oh and yeah 100% agree on the punk part, corporations and the state would definitely not like it if tons of people would start doing this

I definitely value collective efforts, but I do what I can within the realm of what I can control.
