Thanks for coming back! We are onto number 4 of our 5 part gift guide series. This time we will be looking at gift ideas for the solarpunks in your life. I have been absolutely loving the solarpunk trend that is happening and in fact I was so interested in it that I checked out this awesome Youtube video by ‘Our Changing Climate’ about the potential future of Solarpunk.
What exactly is solarpunk you ask?
Solarpunk is a genre and art movement that envisions how the future might look if humanity succeeded in solving major contemporary challenges with an emphasis on sustainability, climate change and pollution. It is a subgenre within science fiction, aligned with cyberpunk derivatives, and may borrow elements from utopian and fantasy genres.
Contrasted to cyberpunk’s use of a dark aesthetic with characters marginalized or subsumed by technology in settings that illustrate artificial and domineering built environments, solarpunk uses settings where technology enables humanity to sustainably co-exist with its environment with aesthetics, influenced by Art Nouveau, that convey feelings of cleanliness, abundance and equability. Although Solarpunk is concerned with technology, it also embraces low-tech ways of living sustainably such as gardening, positive psychology and do it yourself ethics. Its themes may reflect on environmental philosophy such as bright green environmentalism, deep ecology, and ecomodernism, as well as punk ideologies such as anti-consumerism, anti-authoritarianism, and civil rights.
