r/solarpunk is a subreddit with 204k members. The community frequently discusses solarpunk, community, solar, energy, and technology, and they frequently recommend/review sci-fi book recommendations, solar companies, and literature, and the most common flair used is news, ask the sub, action / diy / activism, discussion, and aesthetics / art.
Solarpunk is a genre and aesthetic that envisions collective futures that are vibrant with life, as well as all the actions, policies, and technologies that make them real. We are interested in science fiction, social movements, engineering, style, and anything that inspires a future society that is just and in harmony with its ecology.
