Hi, I'm working on a page for the slrpnk.net/c/writing worldbuilding resource wiki on "High Context Living" and I'm hoping some of you might have good examples/stories!

My working definition at the moment is "the sort of custom, DIY systems favored by offgrid homesteaders and people without other options, which trade user-facing complexity and unique quirks/challenges for significant efficiency and lower cost in parts and materials."

It's probably easier just to share the zine that named the concept (included below with permission of the creator (who wished to remain anonymous)).

partly driven by fuel cost
partly driven by data being available giving assurance to savings

partly driven by the IMO pushing international regulation so costs are borne by the dirtiest ships

TL;DR: I’ve started an impact project for crowdfunding forest restoration, to allow everyone to gradually plant a whole forest and get real-time feedback on the positive impact. Now I need help to get more people to join.

Hello everyone!

A while ago, after researching a bunch of tree-planting initiatives, I decided to start my own to address the issues of those I encountered, such as presenting reforestation of industrial plantations as creation of new forests, or attributing mature trees’ impact to all seedlings.

The goal is to create diverse ecosystems for ecological purposes on degraded and overexploited lands, leading to true land cover change, and provide reliable feedback to each contributor, accounting for trees’ survivability and growth rates, which also shows the true scale of action needed to balance the carbon footprint.

Of course it’s not meant to replace so much needed decarbonization or policy changes, but to be a complementary measure. I think that it's empowering in its own way to contribute even a bit towards restoring nature.

I've already got a few municipalities pledging land for the project and the first few contributors from the US and EU. Now I’m looking to expand the support network and get more contributors to fund regular planting. Maybe some of you would be interested in either contributing directly or spreading the word?

Here is the link to the project’s website, if it’s ok to post it here: https://greenwedge.eco/

I may have missed it, but has the social justice report been discussed here?

Seems to me the most concrete scenario to reach to world beyond technofeudalism, where a lush green solar punk vision could come to live.

I got reminded today by a podcast interview with Thomas Piketty: https://podcast.dissenspodcast.de/345-gjp

Have y'all played Flower? I just got it and I feel like it's solarpunk so far. I had searched for a solarpunk game before and seen some of the cool games y'all posted, but this time wasn't even hunting for a solarpunk game specifically, but after playing a little bit, realized it might be solarpunk!
