Hello! Wikipedia has a more in depth description but I’ll try and summarise it.

It’s coined by a lot of left-wing environmentalists but rather than focusing on climate pessimism it advocates for a technology focused approach to sustainable communities and mindful living that is in better sync with the planet.

You’ll find a lot of social activism attached to it as there is a focus on socialist values but it can certainly be adopted as a mindset by many people on the political spectrum.

Very interesting! Going to keep learing. 🙏

From wiki:

"Solarpunks practice the movement in various ways, including creating and living in communities (such as ecovillages), growing their own food, and a DIY ethic of working with what is available, including the thoughtful application of technology."

I like that.

"Although solarpunk is concerned with technology, it also embraces low-tech ways of living sustainably such as gardening, permaculture, regenerative design, tool libraries, maker spaces, open-source, positive psychology, metacognition, and do-it-yourself ethics. Its themes may reflect on environmental philosophy such as bright green environmentalism and social ecology, as well as punk ideologies such as anarchism, socialism, anti-consumerism, anti-authoritarianism, anti-capitalism, civil rights, commoning, and decentralization"
