  • That‘s hard, I currently work in SAP Basis (tech side) and I‘m not sure. In a solarpunk world, I feel like my job wouldn‘t exist, as it‘s really focused on the needs of “big business” and needs a ton of energy to run this whole system.

    I‘ve been thinking though, things like supply chain, material management, etc seem like they might be useful to have open source for alternative organisations too and I found this: https://erpnext.com/comparisons/sap-alternative though idk how good any of this is truly and I‘m not sure how it would serve solarpunk, I‘m still too new to all this and only work with a small part of it, though it does seem to be the brain of business.

    Before that I worked as a System Engineer, for a fossil fuel company… there I learned that the interests of such a company and anyone who wants nature to survive are incompatible, as they were greenwashing things in marketing while lobbying against any change and toasting to their profits behind closed doors. It made me feel like a monster.

    Sorry if none of this is useful, I‘m mostly here to learn more about solarpunk from you guys cause I‘m so negative from my experiences and I want to change that towards a more hopeful perspective.


  • I had an idea I wanted to share, in my town we have food coops, which is small group of people who band together to get local produce from farmers, with a focus on it being sustainable too so I‘ve seen they even go with bikes to get it. Though you have to contribute in work too, but it‘s probably better than the stuff in supermarkets environmentally.

    I heard about this and thought about joining but been too shy so far, maybe this will finally push me to go apply.
