Absolute worst case, the pavement was used to cap a contaminated site (rather than excavate the contaminated soil and move it to a lined and capped landfill).
I write science fiction, draw, paint, photobash, do woodworking, and dabble in 2d videogames design. Big fan of reducing waste, and of building community

That’s kinda what I was thinking, yeah.
That’s interesting - this is the first I’m hearing of them doing that to jets.
This isn’t the original, but I took the photo and cleaned it up a bit:
And seven years seems quite optimistic considering how effectively local governments and committees of concerned NIMBYS have been blocking any new nuclear construction for like, my entire lifetime, at least in the US. Apparently nobody wants a nuclear power plant going up near them and they find a lot of creative ways to jam up the works. I’m not sure we have the time to try to ram dozens of nuclear power plants through those folks while the world is burning.
I wonder if all that airborne grit effects the windmills. Just the same, I’m glad for any green energy progress
It’s a tabletop role playing game - like a solarpunk scifi version of DnD (or the TTRPG of your pick). The rulebook and other resources available there enable people to play it. Specifically it helps one individual (the GM) run their own campaigns/games, by giving them a suggested set of rules and a vibrant setting they can use all or some of (or just take inspiration from), and it helps the rest of a group of players to create characters and interact with the setting. Together they do a sort of collective storytelling.
In the broader scope of what it does, hopefully it helps people who aren’t super familiar with solarpunk and it’s associated philosophies and movements to imagine a better world, other ways we could do things as a society.
Eat off frisbees
Lots of folk punk type music, stuff drawing it’s roots from old protest songs, union songs, revolutionary stuff.
This would lend itself to stencils pretty well though (one color, no islands), especially with a touch of spray adhesive on the back. I’ve done the symbol from one of the more common solarpunk flags, and getting the blank spot inside the gear positioned would be a little finicky if doing graffiti.
You’d want to bridge the corners there, to make it all one piece, if you wanted to be able to put it up quickly. I was just painting a laptop so I had plenty of time to fuss with it.
I’d never heard of that, very cool!!
Movim is awesome! PoVoq put a bunch of work into getting it set up and linked with Lemmy so if you have an account here, you can just start using the microblogging platform too! I use WordPress for my art and writing and Movim for my making-and-fixing-type projects, and I mostly prefer Movim - the interface is nice, it’s free, doesn’t spatter everything I write with gross ads, and it’s not corporate. I’d very much recommend it.
Thanks! I pulled it from one of the more popular solarpunk flags. Out of all the ones I’ve seen, many of which feature the sun-and-gear motif in some configuration, it’s my favorite symbol for the movement; It’s very simple and visually clear, and easy to render with one color.
A stack of ewaste laptops I’m fixing up to give away, and this jailbroken Chromebook I reinstalled with Alpine Linux which has become my writing computer whenever I’m out and about.
In the northeast there used to be a fair bit, but I think a lot has been torn up in the process of making bike paths. A lot of the small towns I grew up in still have intact tracks running between their centers, I’d love if these pods made an appearance, if only to show folks that trains can be useful to them.
Man I wish our trains ran anywhere near that constantly. They stop the public transit around midnight in my city, but that doesn’t stop it from being tremendously useful during the rest of the time. You learn to plan for it, and advocate for improvements whenever you can
Glad you like them!
Sorry, the ones I’m talking about are TV screen sized.
Like this:
I’ve seen them burn through steel, so it can get small stuff at least hot enough to work. Hopefully at least equivalent to a coffee can forge
I love this kind of solarpunk art, showing largely practical reuse of existing buildings and infrastructure. Especially with the modifications to strengthen community and reduce car reliance.
