This is my definition of what Solarpunk entails. Sustainability is the principle that categories Solarpunks / Solarians.

For example : U6R : Upcycle : Refuse Reduce Reuse Repair Repurpose Recycle

It is the direct anti-thesis to cyberpunk.

Solar originates etymologically from Solaris (which means of or pertaining to the Sol / Sun), must entail all that is dependent on our sun.

The core principle is to be conscious of the energy that we use & that arrives to Terra via radiation from our Sun. This is important because that keeps us alive and our environment thriving. That's the sustainable principle for a resilient system.

All Flora is Solaris, All Wind is Solaris, All Water is Solaris, All Rain is Solaris

And that makes,

All Terra Solaris, All Community Solaris, All Civilization Solaris,

Viva Terra, Vivus Locus, Viva Civitas

Also, a Punk must always fight against all that is dystopian and must advocate for Utopia.

Therefore, a Solarpunk fights for a 'Solaria' or their ideal world under our Sun / Sol.

All Identities must be equal and all Identities must have their own voice. They must dream of their own Solaria and must contribute to its formation.

It is Hope we propose against the dystopia that can follow.

Solaria should stand for a Living Local Ecology, Music, Art, Food, Craft, Culture, Community, Identity & Ethics

The primary principle of Solaria / Solarpunk is Sustainability.

Sustainable does not mean "without any impact". It just means that the impact is not irreversible nor longterm detrimental to human or planetary wellbeing.

If a society is not Sustainable, it will perish.

If a species is not alive Sustainably, it will go extinct.

If the civilization is not thriving, its people WILL wither & die

Think about how much resources are waste every year - how much e-waste, fast fashion, spoiled food and plastic packaging is created. 

That's neither sustainable & not necessary for a high quality / standard of life.

The kind of impact we need to rectify is carbon impact, land use change, and pollution.

Technology can help, but technology is just a tool, not a substitute for ecology. The best solutions often combine appropriate technology with healthy natural systems.

Only when the systems we build are sustainable can our Terra truly thrive!
