The YouTube upload of Season Two Episode Five is here!

On today’s episode, Ariel talks to Lindsay Jane of The Solarpunk Scene where she showcases her solarpunk life in Toronto, as well as shining a spotlight on solarpunk projects locally and internationally. Lindsay tells us about how she discovered solarpunk and the ways that she lives a solarpunk life in the city - both the upsides (gardens! architecture! effective transit!) and the downsides (sky-high rent, expensive food, difficulty cultivating outdoor gardens). She also emphasizes the importance of getting involved in your local community and politics as a city-dweller, and lets listeners in on the behind-the-scenes inspiration for The Solarpunk Scene: tune in to learn more!

Season 2 Has Launched!

Is the solarpunk life all about peaceful living in harmony with your neighbors, your garden, and your chickens away from the thrum of the ci

To kick off Season 2 of Solarpunk Presents, Ariel and I (Christina) laced up our boxing gloves and had a friendly debate about the best place to try to live solarpunk lives: in the city or in the countryside. Is the solarpunk life all about peaceful living in harmony with your neighbors, your garden, and your chickens away from the thrum of the city, or is it all about taking up less space (by living in an apartment), helping out in the community garden, and riding the bus?

Here are links to some of the literature we discussed:

The Trouble with Wilderness; or, Getting Back to the Wrong Nature

The influential essay that prompted a lively public conversation about the meaning of wilderness in American culture.

Ariel's note: this is a constructed debate, and not necessarily reflective of the opinions of all solarpunks everywhere, but a debate that Christina and I see fairly often in solarpunk spaces, so we wanted to duke it out in a fun and engaging way to provoke thought.
