“Optimism means envisioning our desired future and actively pulling it closer” said Christiana Figueres. I am thankful that others envision Solarpunk art.
I found this positive collection of hand-crafted artworks envisioning a sustainable solar powered future humanity needs to survive and prosper. I picked the image “Solarpunk Anarchy” as example:
The Solarpunk artist Sean Bodley writes:
Free societies will be possible in:
- A nearly scarcity-free world
- A rewards based society, very little punishment, very good rewards.

Seeing this future helps me pulling it closer by volunteering for FridaysForFuture.
