So im a very typical American. Cars, big lawn, etc. I do the best I can with a garden, fixing my own cars instead of buying new, and trying not to buy things packaged in plastic. I also want to make most of my lawn clovers and wildflowers etc because I hate the boringness of grass and want biodiversity.
Now I think the solarpunk movement is awesome, but I feel like im just a poser. Obviously I can’t leave my house and go live in a grass hut. Im also one of those people with a million hobbies, so im always doing things (and by extension, purchasing things, though usually used). I’ve also always been a car guy, which kind of goes against the whole eco thing. Though I do pretty much only drive smaller cars. I wont buy electric until they are analog and disconnected from any sort of internet.
I feel like there’s many out there like me who just feel they wont make any difference anyways so they don’t get as involved. But what other things can someone like me do? I’ve thought about some panels on the house to potentially run small servers off of, but that’s pretty much it
Thats funny, I am terrible at woodworking and can’t get into it! But yeah i probabky do have too mucb stuff also. I try to donate what is useable. As far as cars, I want less tech in all cars. Computers are fine because I can control it. Propriitary car technology is evil and garbage. And yes while now all cars have it bad, electric cars are among the worst offenders. The only thing a car needs is efi, maybe abs but not necessary for a daily. I’d be fine with a carb since they are just as efficient when tuned right and cheaper and easier to repair and not proprietary. I should have stated unneccessary electronics are what I hate. I don’t need a screen, electric mirrors and windows and seats, gross.
