What does a #SolarPunk & #Lunarpunk reality look, feel, taste, smell and hear like? Well here's some tips for incorporating more of it into your life:
Joining your local #CommunityGarden #FoodForest #Permaculture Project. It's incredibly nourishing to grow fresh fruits, herbs and veggies while saying hello and getting to know the folks who live around you. You may even make new friends
setting up simple #hydroponic gardens with a UV lamp connected to a solar panel or other electrical source is easy, cost effective a fun way to foster fresh herbs, fruits & veggies from your immediate home surroundings. Good for dimmer kitchens, balconies and backyards and helps in the winter months with seasonal depression.
Try to buy #SecondHand before buying new. There's an abundance of clothing, furniture, electronics etc. in our world, all made with human time and creativity just going to the trash
. So check apps like Vinted, eBay, #BuyNothingGroups , Craigslist or visit your local flea market, clothing swaps or 2nd hand shop to find these pre-loved items. The fun is in the hunt. And if you can find it, make it! Or learn from a skilled craftsperson to show you how to recycle
and repair your old items. Puts the DIY in SolarPunk.
#GuerillaGarden those forgotten small plots of earth around city trees and between intersections, that would love a wild flower
or two. Dropping a #SeedBomb or spreading some seeds of local plants helps the local ecosystem reach places beyond it's wildest dreams and attracts bees
butterflies
and other insects. Consider creating an insect hotel and adding that too!
