Solarpunky Highlights
Podcasts, articles and more
Alongside one of our regular round-ups of solarpunky things, we’re signposting you to two especially good podcast episodes.
SRSLY Wrong & Artistic Activism
First, a hilarious skit from the SRSLY Wrong podcast on Ecological Luxury. A utopian couple made up of a Fully Automated Luxury Communist and a Degrowther have a lovers tiff. From 14.50 mins to 20 minutes.
Second, an especially good episode of Team Human featuring Rebecca Bray and Rachel Gita Karp from The Center for Artistic Activism.

They brilliantly make the case for going beyond traditional protest and angry condemnation. They argue how important it is to find fun and joy in our campaigning.
They also talk about how inspiring people with visions of delicious sustainable worlds can be more effective at building the diverse coalitions we need. Listen here.
