There’s nothing wrong with that flag from what I am aware.
The flag I made is primarily intended for showing my political stances, but it fits under the the solar punk tradition as well, which is why I call it a solarpunk flag. It’s also an anarchist flag, a humanism flag, ecological flag, and feminist flag.
I like to think that indigenous communities is to a larger or lesser extent anarchist. Perhaps by looking into everyday stories of these communities, you can get some inspiration as to what kinds of journeys are appealing to them. I haven’t done this myself, but at least that’s what I would do if I were you.

NOTE I don’t mean to superficially criticize, but I’m just very aware of how we elect our words. I haven’t looked into the article itself yet, so this is not to criticize the content of the post.
The word repair is a word that we should avoid when it comes to talking about turning our planet well again. Repair turns Gaja into an unliving machine, similar to a car or a washing machine. Repair is a word we use for unliving things, but Gaja is living.
We should instead dream of a world healed. By doing this, we transform our understanding of Gaja. As a being that needs to be taken care of instead of as something that is used to our benefit.
By looking at Gaja as a living being, we also challenge our conception of improving our world. Because we are taught to look at bringing forth positive change as finding solutions. But solutions are what we do in engineer work. The doctor doesn’t talk about their patients as problems to be solved, but rather patients to be healed, or unwellnesses to be healed.
In other words we need to go away from an engineer mindset towards a doctor mindset. Working with the living instead of machines. To relight away from problem solving towards unwellness healing.
The engineer mindset makes us see the world superficially without requiring to take the totality of the body in mind.
The doctor mindset on the other side makes us see the world wholistically and taking everything into account.
Using engineer mindset tells us that we need engineers to improve our world, whereas using the doctor mindset tells us that we need healers to heal the world. This will channel people into becoming healers instead of engineers.
Nice :)
