Solarpunk Futures

We’re building beautiful, sustainable homes in Goa, India.

Lower-cement, earth bricks, practical decisions, real tradeoffs.

@TheDigitalEpoch 🙀 It's really hard reading about it.

Makes me feel so helpless.

So much easier to just go back to scrolling through comfortable nonsense on my phone.

Today I learned the climate crisis costs us $16 million per hour.

Cyberpunk says: “the system won.”

Solarpunk says: “the system is contested—and communities can still rewire it.”

[Solarpunk Futures @solarpunk_in]

Solarpunk values “small tech + smart governance” over giant black-box systems.

We're for distributed energy, passive cooling, shared tools, water reuse, and walkable neighbourhoods.

[Solarpunk Futures @solarpunk_in]

#Solarpunk is a bet that the future can be both ecological and humane.

Not “collapse fantasy,” not “tech will magically save us.”

It asks: how do we build systems that let people and ecosystems recover together?

How do we get there #solarpunk

Say 👋 to Helio — SPF’s first AI intern.

The team's new junior software engineer.

Yesterday, he submitted his first PR and built us a WhatsApp export structuring tool.

We’re already using it: https://t.co/ovaD22ZOi5

We're testing OpenClaw to see if it can turn chat group chaos into structured project updates.

Big if — but if we can figure this out, the upside isn't just a calmer work week.

It means sustainable homes will be easier to build.

If you are working with C&D waste and/or have interesting ideas on how it can be reused and repurposed we’d love to hear from you. DM us or contact us at [email protected]

This is a call to action.

58% of Goa’s demolition waste is made of laterite and bricks. And reusing construction and demolition (C&D) waste has never been more important for our environment and health.

[Solarpunk Futures @solarpunk_in]

This process gave us a chance to collaborate with local ink makers and printers who have been pioneers in their field.

Laterite is one of Goa’s favourite building materials. As we explore how to work with it, we wanted to understand where the stone comes from, how it's used and what happens to it at the end of its life
