The year is 2080, we solved the climate crisis, we solved the poverty crisis. You live in a pretty chill solarpunk utopia that is considerate, sustainably, just and generally safe. The few dangerous places out there are clearly labelled.

Choose one of those signs and explain why it is displayed where it is.

EDIT: for some reasons up/downvotes do not work for me here. Is anyone having similar problems?

You seem to be missing warnings for nanoplastic and microplastic pollution. Also a warning for perchlorate contamination from forever chemicals. And one for wet bulb temperature zones near the equator that require hibernation or protective clothing during daylight hours.

There is no chill 2080 utopia in our future.

I do like the icons, they were a cute distraction.

I am well aware of the problems we are facing. Yet you are in /c/solarpunk. There are tons of dystopian doomer forums I also follow. I just come here for a glimmer of hope.

Are you a bot or did you accidentally mark your account as a bot ? maybe that is the reason upvotes and downvotes don't work for you?

I had marked myself as a bot! Thanks a lot!

I think I did that a while ago while I was experimenting some scripting but I dont do this on this account anymore.

Sounds like something a bot would say...

Yeah, I think that's actually the problem, I need to unsub from solarpunk because it cultivates a completely illogical view of the future.

See you, have fun!

The prompt even said that these have been solved, at least the climate crisis. C’mon man. Read the room.
