Need a hopeful story? 22 students at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, 4 years ago, set out to "really inspire people and the market and society to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable future. What we’re trying to do is to show people and show companies what’s already possible.”

So they made a #solarpunk campervan fully equipped with living essentials including a double bed, sofa, kitchen area and a bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. It can fit two people, who can drive, cook breakfast and watch television using just the vehicle’s solar-charged battery.

Then they took it on a tour of Europe driving 1,200 miles without stopping for fuel or plugging in to charge. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/stella-vita-solar-campervan-netherlands-spc-intl/index.html

A fully solar-powered campervan has just driven through Europe

Solar Team Eindhoven 2021, a group of students from the Netherlands, have designed and driven a two-person camper powered solely by sunlight.

@exador23 I wish society would normalise this kind of stuff. Give me a tiny house in a nice park with other tiny houses, security and strict noise rules ftw. I’d rather have that than a mortgage and stress.
