Solarpunk is often dismissed as a purely aesthetic movement - pretty pictures of skyscrapers covered in vines. But true Solarpunk is political. It is about decentralization.

If we want to become independent of the “Big Three” (US tech, Chinese manufacturing, Russian energy), we need to localize our survival.

Then the government will try to make worms and plants illegal.

    I mean, if saving seeds wasn't dangerous to the powers that shouldn't be, Monsanto wouldn't have made it illegal.

    It's dangerous to Monsanto's bottom line, because they rely on having a monopoly on their seeds. I'd say farmers breaking patent law is a revolutionary act! But, at least for now, the government doesn't care if you save heirloom seeds or your own cultivars.

    For now.
