“We are solarpunks because optimism has been taken away from us and we are trying to take it back. We are solarpunks because the only other options are denial or despair. At its core, Solarpunk is a vision of a future that embodies the best of what humanity can achieve: a post-scarcity, post-hierarchy, post-capitalistic world where humanity sees itself as part of nature and clean energy replaces fossil fuels.” (https://iandennismiller.github.io/solarpunk/manifesto/english.html)
