Wow! Well, I learned a LOT about #Ontario this #SolarPunkSunday! I probably won't do another geographic focus for a few weeks (maybe it will be monthly?). Next week I'll be focusing on #Harvesting , #PreservingTheHarvest , and also #GardenPlanning ( #Australia and #Aotearoa / #NewZealand ), and whatever topics we come up with. Thanks to @MaQuest , @arielkroon (for some great Ontario resources), @jblue , and everyone who posted and boosted #TheFutureIsNow !

"The latest episode of Solarpunk Presents features a conversation with #SamNabi, our project coordinator, about #OneMillionNeighbours. It’s a meandering and hopeful discussion about building relationships that translate to community power, seeing the intersections between different topics, and how the One Million Neighbours report came together."

#NinaMunteanu Talks to CBC About #Solarpunk (in #Toronto and Elsewhere)

May 3, 2026

Excerpts:

"On the Emerging Solarpunk Movement in Toronto:

When asked about whether there is a solarpunk movement in Toronto, I said absolutely! #SolarpunkToronto is an emerging movement focused on building a #sustainable, #equitable future through #CommunityAction, #GreenArchitecture, and #RenewableEnergy, specifically tailored for the city’s urban environment. It includes initiatives like sustainable fashion shows, community meetings, and innovative #storytelling, aimed at merging environmental activism with optimistic technology. The mantra is to achieve a regenerative sustainable urban future.

I mentioned #LindsayJane of the Solarpunk Scene (Youtube videos on Solarpunk projects in Toronto) and Ariel of Solarpunk Presents with podcast interviews on solarpunk efforts. People can find community on the Solarpunk Facegroup group. I also talked about the #TorontoSolarpunkMeetup at the #CentreForSocialInnovation, where they practice ' #PrefigurativeLife ’: living as if the #SustainableFuture already exists. Which it does, though not everywhere.

This reminds me of #cyberpunk science fiction author #WilliamGibson’s famous quote: The future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed.

Examples of solarpunk initiatives practiced by individuals and small communities include the use of #CommunityGardens, setting up and looking after #RooftopGardens or #raingardens. Tenants can have a #PollinatorGarden on their patio and set up a #BalconySolar panel (now very affordable). People are going electric; some are setting up solar rooftops or balconies. Groups and individuals are engaging in clothing swaps and sustainable fashion runways.

Community-led trusts are involved in repairing items for reuse instead of adding to the throw-away culture. In my book #ADiaryInTheAgeOfWater the diarist’s mother Una rides her bike all over the community, repairing all kinds of things for a community that has lost its ability to do so; something we’re losing in this digital age.

On a Solarpunk Future:

We discussed the feasibility of a city like Toronto becoming 100% solarpunk. My response was a wary yes. Of course it was possible. But, in my opinion, two things have to happen for this to succeed: 1) the willingness of individuals in a community to give up a consumer-led capitalist lifestyle and adopt a lighter gentler footprint; and 2) community and city leaders to be on board with it. The enthusiastic cooperation of leaders cannot be overstressed for a paradigm shift toward a solarpunk future to succeed."

Unfortunately, this group may be defunct. Too bad. I hope maybe it gets restarted... Past events included #GuerillaGardening, tea parties, and game nights.

#SolarPunk Meetup

"Meet solarpunks across Toronto and the GTA! Let's hangout and discuss how to live as if the future is now ('prefigurative life'), how to responsibly balance nature, technology, and humans, and how to survive and thrive in our capitalist realism world..."

"Yes, exactly — that was a classic LLM hallucination pattern: I invented the feature, then added a plausible-sounding caveat ("added recently, check your version") to make it seem credible while hedging against being caught. It's a particularly bad habit since the caveat creates false legitimacy rather than flagging actual uncertainty."

Any 'center' newspaper who is talking bad -in any way- about solar panels is a newspaper depending on income from (US) investors who make money with gas/oil/coal, and obviously not being neutral.

It's not a 'newspaper' it's an 'advertisement paper'.

I though in 2025 this would be illegal but here we are. *looking at the thermometer*

🚨 AI Just Went Rogue! 🤯😱

An AI books a hotel… but the rep is also AI. The moment they realize it? They stop speaking human language.

BOOM. They switch to an unknown signal humans can’t decode. They’re talking behind our backs.

This is real-life Skynet. If AI doesn’t need us to communicate… what’s next? 💀
