Have you read our first advice column? We've launched a series called "Dear Solarpunk Presents..." where we respond to questions or links or comments (etc) you've sent us about solarpunk and related things.

Not sure if something is solarpunk? Want the opinions of either @arielkroon or @xtinadlr?

We have a LOT of opinions, and we're very happy to be wrong but we can only learn if other people join our conversation.

So head over to our blog and let us know what you think!

(Disclaimer: we're not the arbiters of what is solarpunk or not; that would be very silly. This series hopes to provide a place for discussion where the solarpunk community can learn from each other!)

Dear Solarpunk Presents… Is It Solarpunk When Billionaires Decide to Build a Solarpunk City? — Solarpunk Presents

When we make the podcast, write the blogs, and tend our Patreon garden, most of the time, it feels like shouting into the void. We occasionally hear from one of our supporters on Patreon and sometimes get comments on our various social media accounts, but what we’d really like is for discussions

Dear Solarpunk Presents...

We're launching an advice column! (Well, sort of...) Our first question is from a listener who wanted our opinion about the "California Forever" project to build a sustainable city in Solano County, California. Is it solarpunk?

Click through to see what California-raised @xtinadlr has to say about it, and join the conversation in the comments to share your opinion.

(Ariel also took a look at the project, but this is more in Christina's wheelhouse!)

What a wonderful case of Tactical Urbanism in action!

Amsterdam temporarily closed one of the busy roads to run a well-planned experiment, collect data and draw conclusions from it.

It also makes me happy to think that this is an example of a city that cares about the well-being of its residents.
