Solarpunk Workshop (slrpnk.net)
This is one I’ve had on my list for months now, and I finally decided to just go ahead and make it. Back when I was researching solar cookers, solar concentrator, and solar furnaces, I ran into a few really interesting ideas around fresnel lenses. Look them up on youtube and you can find all kinds videos of people melting...

Tell me about your projects?
I’ve been slowly converting all of my outdoor lighting to solar and adding more rain barrels for my garden. This got me thinking–what are the rest of you working on? I’d love to see and hear about your projects if you feel like sharing them....

Has anyone ever had experience with 'precious plastic' or similar?
In this period I was learning about different systems for recycling and reusing plastic from a DIY perspective, when I came to know about this open hardware.
Discussion: what would you do in a post-work society?
Very much inspired by the recent post about what anti work actually means. If you were free from the “work or starve” paradigm, what would you do with your time? No wrong answers....
Deconstruction crew disassembling abandoned McMansions so the material can be reused - Postcard from a Solarpunk Future (pixelfed.social)
Houses require maintenance. How much and how often depends on the design and its surroundings. They also require occupants - in my brief experience at least, they degrade much faster when they’re left cold and empty than when someone lives there, even if that someone doesn’t fix things.
