no, listen, when I say I want to integrate more specific solarpunk stuff in my life, i don’t mean to ask for yet again new “aesthetic” clothes that now you have to buy or make to show your support of the movement (screw that i’m consuming enough as it is), or more posts about impossible house goals, or whatever, I’m asking you what my options to build a portable and eco friendly phone charger are, im asking you viable tiny-appartment edible plants growing tricks on a budget,  im asking tips to slow down when my mind and society tell me im not fast enough, i don’t need more rich art nouveau amateurs aesthetics or pristine but cold venus project, okay, i know i should joins associations where I am tho i’m constantly on the move, thanks for that, just, you know, can we get a bit more practical ??? how do I hack my temporary flat into going off the grid for the time i’m here

Hello! ☀️ Here are a few practical suggestions for stuff you can do: 

• Make a bottle tower garden (a small one could do well on a windowsill) 
• Make eco-friendly household cleaners
• Germinate strawberry seeds and care for the plants 
• Grow plants from cuttings (you can grow almost anything this way) 
• Make a sun jar 
• Grow low maintenance houseplants 
• Make a string garden 
• Make a wall planter 
• Germinate an avocado seed 
• Make a shoe pocket garden 
• Build a mini solar generator 
• Re-grow kitchen scraps 
• Find the right solar battery charger 
• Recycle old solar cells 

Hope you find something useful in there! I post stuff up from time to time under my diy tag. Feel free to drop me a message if you have any requests!
