#WordWeavers 10.7 — How does the world your characters inhabit deal with garbage?
Garbage is separated in compostable and not. The former is systematically composted and used in the vertical farms. The latter is recycled. Examples of latter - mostly metallic things. Paper/plastic have been substituted with compostable material w/ similar characteristics.

Writing #solarpunk #speculativefiction #climatefiction doesn't necessarily mean that the authors are responsible for imagining the whole thing. Sometimes reality - see #Switzerland #transportation - has already done the heavy-lifting. The #urbanplanning and #transit in "A New Faith" draws on European and Asian systems a lot.

#ScribesAndMakers 29Sep—What's your proudest/best moment with your creative endeavor this month?
Getting some nice comments from readers. For example - "your book ought to be in the market. It is well-written, reads very well, and sends messages that we all need to be receiving and thinking about, especially in today's world."

#WordWeavers 29 If you could treat your characters to a meal in our world, what would it be?
Just finished reading the #HopePunk #SolarPunk novel #ANewFaith by @TinJar
This is probaly the most inspiring reading for me this year. I strongly recommend it!
It depicts a very plausible future that could start tomorrow. With tremendous threats that seem impossible to overcome, but at the end new opportunities of hope arise, thanks to the intelligency, bravery and even sacrifice of many people. But all being quite realistic, no fantasy or plot armor.
Please read it
No one eats meat in the city of Sequoia, the fictional city in "A New Faith". One of the key reasons behind that is the overall resources required to support a meat-heavy diet are massively greater than a plant-based diet.

Wonder why there are no cars in Sequoia, the #solarpunk city in "A New Faith"?
