Today, imagining a better future is a powerful act of resistance. It’s a way of reclaiming our agency when it feels like the ground is falling away beneath us. This isn't about naive optimism or pretending the difficulties we face aren’t real.

Rather, it’s refusing to let these problems dominate our thinking. It’s about creating mental and emotional space for ideas that push beyond the status quo, even when the present can feel like it’s crushing us with its darkness.

If we only resist, we risk becoming defined by what we oppose. To change the world for the better we need visions to sustain us. Vivid and inspiring ones that helps keep us going through the tough times and challenges ahead. Ideas of the future that don’t deny the difficult work ahead. They give that work purpose and meaning.

This is why we believe in the power of solarpunk. Not as a fantasy to escape to but as a radical re-imagining of what we can build if we work together for a deliciously sustainable world.

I ain't got time for that but if you nerds are serious. I spent 20 years of my life figuring out the answer to your question. It is now a place where I live and it's called Arcadia. This is a link to some of the work I have done in effort to leave behind a blueprint for others.
If pinned post still work on your end over there, what I pinned up to my wall and that YouTube channel have most of it.
I'm solving an equation out here. When I'm done I will solve mankind.
