Like Steampunk and Cyberpunk, Solarpunk is a genre of fiction and exploratory imagination, a “what if…” landscape. But unlike those others, Solarpunk imagines a positive vision of a post-climate crisis future. It ESCAPES DENIALISM by acknowledging the great polycrisis facing the world today, but it also MOVES PAST DOOMERISUM by looking at this great unraveling not as the end, but as opportunity! We can move past our “business as usual” sleep walking, let the oppressive systems that do not serve us fall away, and collectively BUILD A JUST, VERDANT, AND EQUITABLE FUTURE WORLD where we’ve regenerated the Earth, reconnected with each other, have a healthy relationship with technology, and all people are free to find their soul’s calling.
"What is the song of a community that seeks to live within its means and in harmony with nature? What is the highest vision we are capable of bringing forth? What is the most beautiful story we could write about humanity?"
"Envision a world where we live in service to the planet and the well-being of our communities. Every person has a unique role. Each being has a gift and offering to the world that sustains and nourishes them with energy and resources to accomplish their mission. Imagine a world in which humans and nature are flourishing and thriving. In this vision, we live in a symbiotic alliance that honors and respects our relationship with nature and each other."
- Day Sanchez
Most importantly, this is a vision of the future that we can start building TODAY! Let’s manifest the future world we want through our actions and intentions in this present moment!
