A Solarpunk Lecture/Workshop with Jerri Jerreat author and Executive Director of the Youth Imagine the Future Festival
Jerri Jerreat’s vision of solarpunk:
Imagine the place where you live--only better. There’s renewable energy--vertical wind or river turbines-- and biodiversity. Equality, diversity, and justice are at the heart of your community, as people of many cultures work and live together. The food you eat was grown organically nearby: sprouts by your sink, veggies on your patio balcony or in a community garden. You are best friends with a tree near your window. That is solarpunk to me: a better future, grounded in real solutions.
Theme: Can you imagine 15-Minute Neighbourhoods, microgrids from renewable energy with sand batteries, and dancing together outside? Joy.
Organized by the Waterloo Institute for Solarpunk and Hope, with sponsorships from the Philosophy Department and LIFE Co-op.
