I feel like I always think of solar punk as a macro thing where a lot has to change but there are still smaller wins we can implement, what have you been doing?

    • Thrifting, sewing, and mending my clothes instead of buying new
    • Using the AC as little as possible and participating in peakbusting as much as I can
    • Reading a lot to learn important concepts - currently reading Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown
    • Teaching myself the basics of coding so I can make my own personal website
    • Hosting a monthly community night at my house where folks can connect in a comfortable environment
    • I’ve recently gotten into kandi and so far I haven’t bought a single pony bead new!!
    • Setting up a balcony garden
    • Making eraser stamps so I can customize my clothes and make patches

    I’m most proud of the balcony garden, if we’re being honest. I’ve never gardened a single time before but my tomato plants are apparently growing me some tomatoes and that’s insane. Truthfully, most of what I’ve grown (tomatoes) isn’t offsetting what I’d buy, but learning about the natural world has been really special given that my disabilities mean I can’t really go foraging or hiking or anything like that. It’s also given me the opportunity to say hi to my neighbors when they’re outside!
