UK MPs support solar farms? biodiversity benefits
Os dejo un regalo nocturno. Un PDF descargable con el juego de rol que hice para hablar de sostenibilidad con niñes de primaria, que describo en uno de los programas de @PostApocalipsisNau

Pretty much the main reason why I decided to self-publish on Ghost.org tinjar.ghost.io #climatechange #adaptation #booksky #fiction #climatefiction #solarpunk #urbanfantasy #mystery #thriller
A reminder to you that several of my books, including the new Bright Green Futures #solarpunk anthology, are available on @bookshop.org and you can pick which indie bookstore you want to support!
A reminder to me to get more of my books on distribution there...
Here's the latest concept #art for the cover of our upcoming campaign!
It's a fantastic adventure that we can't wait to share! Coming this summer!
The Kratky Hydroponic Lettuce Wall will be comprised of a couple of things:
1) A utility shelf with adjustable shelving
2) Full spectrum LED "grow" light strips w/ timer
3) Grow bins
That's it.
The utility shelf can be broken down into the following requirements:
- DANGER!!! WARNING!!! IMPORTANT!!!: The shelves should be able to actually hold the weight of your grow bins. Water is heavy. Many shelves by themselves cannot support the weight of the water and will need support. So check the weight rating on the shelves you get. We'll continue to talk about this further as we built out the shelf.
- ANOTHER DANGER!!! WARNING!!! IMPORTANT!!!: You need a way to anchor your shelves to the wall SECURELY!!! You don't want this thing tipping over. You build it too high and it falls on your kid or dog or cat and they may die. Secure this to your wall. Especially the higher you build it.
- Shelves need to be adjustable to allow enough space for the bin to sit and for the plant to grow
- A way to attach the light strips to the shelf above the grow bin
- Bonus: Make it pretty
The Grow Light Strips can be broken into the following requirements:
- They should fit the length of the shelf you pick and be attachable to it in some way
- You should be able to control them with a timer (either on the light itself or set up with a wall socket timer
- Have a method of increasing the light or decreasing the light (easily add more light strips if needed, or adjust brightness, etc)
- Be full spectrum "grow" light. Note: it does not have to SAY grow light. Sometimes lights are like cakes. A regular white cake is cheap. Add the name "Wedding" to that same cake and it gets expensive. As long as the LED light strip generates enough light for a plant to eat, we're good.
The grow bins can be broken down into the following requirements:
- They should hold water.
- They should be fully opaque and not allow any light into the bin itself.
- They should hold some sort of grow medium to allow a plant to grow on top and provide access to the roots to get into the bin to access the nutrient water
- Bonus: Make them pretty
That's it.
No pumps.
No aerators.
No central reservoir.
Just a place to put a kratky bin and grow lettuce.
We'll tackle how to size and shop for a utility shelf next.

Von wegen zu wenig Ladesäulen: >> Im zweiten Halbjahr 2024 waren nach Angaben des Bundesverbands der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft (BDEW) in Deutschland im Schnitt nur rund 17 Prozent aller öffentlich zugänglichen Ladepunkte zeitgleich belegt. Das bedeutet, dass viele kaum ausgelastet sind.
Nur jeder fünfte Ladepunkt ist laut BDEW überdurchschnittlich ausgelastet, vier von fünf [...]<< https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/technologie/ladesaeulen-infrastruktur-ausbau-gedrosselt-e-autos-100.html

Mehr Experimente zu #Solar Bruchzellen für die #Kunst Mappe, hier eher ein Funktionsexperiment
Spannend: man kann Solarzellen auch mit Blattgold verkabeln.

Hello fediverse solarpunks! We’re Solarpunk Presents Podcast, a podcast run on a shoestring budget by two lady solarpunks, one in Canada (@arielkroon) and one in Germany (@xtinadr@wandering.shop). We’re not great with technology, but we happen to both be PhDs from the opposite sides of the spectrum between STEM and Humanities/the Arts, and we’re united in our working towards solarpunk futures.
Our podcast is an interview-style podcast where we talk to guests and each other about various aspects of solarpunk, renewable energies, political action, and more. Often, our guests are people who wouldn’t label themselves as solarpunks, but are (and have been, often for years) quietly involved in working towards making the world a better place to live in. We strongly believe that once you get past the aesthetic and hype about renewables, solarpunk at its core promotes compassion, kinship with non-humans and humans alike, and grace for our fellow human beings as we all work together to survive on our shared planet.
You can support the podcast on Patreon, with tiers starting at just $1 USD! We host a monthly solarpunk hangout that all of our patrons are invited to, and all Patrons at the $3 tier and up receive early access to our episodes. There are more tiers with more extras, so head to https://patreon.com/solarpunkpresents to see them all. We also take one-time or recurring donations over at our PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=4QYBB8LGBC6FS
Even if you’re not in the financial position to donate, we really value other forms of support, such as positive reviews on your podcatcher of choice (it helps us be more visible and reach more solarpunks!), or subscriptions to our YouTube channel and comments there. As writers, we thrive on feedback, and we are continually trying to make the podcast better and want to know what you think.
As I’ve said before, it's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.

The Bright Green Futures #podcast lifts up hopeful #climatefiction stories but it also talks about:
—how to write those stories
—how to build a better world today
#solarpunk is like no other genre I've written: equal parts living & writing the future you want.
