I feel like I always think of solar punk as a macro thing where a lot has to change but there are still smaller wins we can implement, what have you been doing?

    I was thinking I haven’t made much progress but writing it down, I have a few going right now.

    • Purchased a used eletric car (With a new baby we couldn’t get by without one, but we are considering an e-cargo bike)
    • Continue gardening and urban foraging skills
    • Planted a large native garden in my front yard (Over 400 sq ft.)
    • Continuing my herbalism practice for my own healthy and family (my lotions and salves are working great)
    • Continue to purchase the majority of my child clothes used or second hand. Getting lots of things free
    • Continue my practice to try to give things away instead of throwing them away
    • Volunteer with a native lead oprganization doing prairie restoration. (I went to one of their interesting hands on demo on three sisters gardens and learned tons about drying food).

    So I am making some progress but plently to go. I want to try to reduce my food waste but I haven’t gotten in the practice of saving or drying things when getting low.
