For your first point, sure let’s consider that the case, then the old panels can be recycled and you get more efficient ones, not a bad trade.

Also, share with your neighbour the extra energy? Or contact your municipal office to pass a tax cut/payback? There’s so much opportunity there! (Just imagine if your city passes such an initiative and others adopt too! Less reliance on fossil fuels!)

On your second point, yeah, we need more innovation in recycling technology. Hopefully we get there too 😊

I hate stocks, but I hope yours go to the moon!

From your link it, for me, it seems like emissions are platooning, similar to a technological S curve. Even if China and India are growing exponentially, reduction in other countries are enough to slow down the process significantly (specially if you zoom in in the last 10 years).

It’s very hard to predict change, but I suspect the deprecation of solutions that emit lots of emissions is about to skyrocket.

Not just that, it’s a combination of factors. Sustainable thinking, independence, a connection to the world and self and much more.

Precisely that, hydroponics to be more precise. It’s not everything, but a great start

Combining yours and @LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net ideas, I came to the following new synthesis: [🦾🌻]

It’s short, talks about accessibility, struggle, plants, the sun and depending how you look at it a bad ass sun flower hahahah.

What would be a cool affix to use in social media usernames to show that you are a solarpunk (or maybe that you also have an account on slrpnk.net)?

Reasoning

Adding an affix helps to better connect with other people and form communities in other apps. It also helps spark curiosity and recruit more members to the call to action.

Examples of affixes

  • ⏸️ The pause emoji is used to indicate that you are in favor of pausing AI development due to security concerns.

  • 🔵🌌 Means you have an account on blue sky social media

  • /dd You are part of the “Don’t die movement”

  • (fandom tags) There are too many to count

Some ideas

  • (slrpnk) Looks cool, but takes too many characters

  • [🌞🌿] Sort of techie, aesthetically pleasing

  • 𝙎⃥𝙥⃥𝙣⃥𝙠⃥ More rad, still 4 characters long, but not very accessible

  • [🦾🌻] My favourite so far. It has tech, it has ecology, it has accessibility and it has sun/solar. Let’s goo!

Give me your best ideas!

Or just quick ones / which ones you like 👍

I mean, they might be against it for the wrong reasons, but it would be better if we tried to fix the climate without aerosol…

The reason for a lot of these subsidies is the dependence of other economies on oil. We need more open source solar and nuclear tech to make the planet resilient, then we can throw oil out of the window.
