Humankind can do better.
Be the change.
Any pronouns, really.
I've been meaning to share this awesome piece by A. Poeht for a while now. It still gives me goosebumps when I read it.

The truth is, some days I don't give it my best. I don't even give it my all. I can only manage to give it my some, and it's not even that great.
But I'm still here, and I'm still trying. So that's gotta count for something, right?

There is always hope, it just doesn't always make it into the history books.

There's lessons here for survivors of current disasters.

Records of Pompeii’s survivors have been found – and archaeologists are starting to understand how they rebuilt their lives

The story of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is no longer one of annihilation; it also includes the people who managed to escape the city.

The Conversation

"Solarpunk doesn't require an apocalypse. It's a world in which humans haven't destroyed ourselves and our environment, where we've pulled back just in time to stop the slow destruction of our planet. We've learned to use science wisely for the betterment of ourselves and our planet."

Bright Green Futures | Susan Kaye Quinn | Substack

We lift up stories about a more sustainable and just world and talk about the struggle to get there. To build better futures, we need to imagine them first. Click to read Bright Green Futures, by Susan Kaye Quinn, a Substack publication with hundreds of subscribers.

"If you try to imagine a future with socially-oriented multi-generational living habitats centered around walking, bicycles and the soothing shadows of trees, it’s striking how everything suddenly feels like a luxury hotel resort. Could a low carbon society of sufficiency feel as meaningful as a slow family holiday?"

We're releasing today another bonus clip from behind the Patreon paywall. This originally was produced by Christina as a bonus clip to follow the early release of S5E5; supporters on Patreon at the Companion tier and higher gain access to bonus content that is either excerpted from episodes or prompted by their content every other week. Here is the original description:

"I didn't have any extra clips from the interview with the organizers of The Solarpunk Conference. Instead, here's me (Christina) reading my contribution to The Solarpunk Conference Journal that was published after last year's conference.
Enjoy!

PS- you can catch videos of many of the presentations from the conference on The Solarpunk Conference's YouTube channel (including the presentation/panel that @arielkroon was a part of)."
