This would be so lovely for some far northern/southern latitudes that need all the sun they can get to stay warm. With double or triple paned glass to insulate.

It sounds a lot like you want us to be silent so you don’t have to think about it.

Most people intellectually understand that torturing and killing animals is wrong and they don’t want to do it. But they can put it into the back of their minds unless the vegans in their life remind them of what they look like to us.

And personally, I firmly believe that getting those little reminders from my friends added up over years for me until I realized it was worth it to make the change.

The challenge that isn’t covered here is that the grandeur of Singapore is far far easier to achieve with authoritarian centralization than the anarchic style of solarpunk. And people are compelled by the grandeur of a large expensive project in different ways than the DIY scale.

So how can a ragtag group in SF or Berlin make something that captures imagination just as well as Singapore?

I’m a huge fan of the ebike for camping too. In 2021, I took a year off work to ebike around the US.

This weekend’s adventure was low-key by comparison, just a 14 mile ride from downtown Madison, WI out to a county park campground.
