About 50 people answered “What does solarpunk mean to you?“ during my first giveaway—both new and familiar to solarpunk—and this is the word cloud of their replies. Reblog to “show don’t tell” what solarpunk is all about.

Tidalpunk was recognized by some thought leaders in the #SolarpunkChat on Twitter a couple days ago, including @debmerriam and @upperrubberboot!

To me, tidalpunk is any aquatic portion of solarpunk, but that’s not to say it can’t stand out on its own. The Carbon Coast novel features a tidalpunk setting for about a third of the novel! It’s very exciting to be writing about sustainable floating cities, pacific islands, solar-powered coastlines, and more. But of course, there’s always the threat of powerful storms...

Solarpunk Twitter Chat

Let’s talk about #ecopunk #reading #ecospeculation #books #solarpunk #climatechange -- use #solarpunkchat!

Hi everyone! On behalf of the organizing team (Upper Rubber Boot Books, Reckoning Press, and World Weaver Press), here’s some information about upcoming dates for the #solarpunkchat over on Twitter. 

20 Oct. 2018: Commando Jugendstil and Tales From The EV Studio will lead a conversation about cooperatives and collaborations in the context of solarpunk. (Check out the fruit of their collaboration in Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers.)

17 Nov. 2018: Sarena Ulibarri will guide us through some winter solarpunk world-building and brainstorming. If your writing or art project has a cold-climate or rainy-season setting, you won’t want to miss the fun.

Join other writers, activists, artists and readers to discuss the overlapping ideas and ideals of solarpunk, hopepunk, ecopunk, eco-futurism, eco-fiction, and climate fiction.

The solarpunk chat was a bit brutal after the People's March for the Vote on Saturday, but the discussion was really nice.

Thanks to @thecarboncoast and @debmerriam for partecipating. Please extend the thanks to any other denizens of solarpunk tumblr you know.
