Inspiration towards a life more aligned with solarpunk values (slrpnk.net)

Hi all!

Long time lurker here on slrpnk.net and just signed up to participate more. I have myself been moving on a fairly slow but steady trajectory towards a life aligned with solarpunk values (although not with zeal or even the knowledge of solarpunk for most of this time). I still have a good distance to go, but I also have some concrete ideas in mind going forward.

So I thought I'd make this post where people could share their stories to inspire each other to take bolder steps: what steps have you so far taken and what do you plan to do going forward to live more true to a real solarpunk? What turned you onto these ideals in the first place? If not all ideals speak to you, which do and why? etc. etc. Anything goes!

I'll post my story in a separate comment.

Makes perfect sense. I do get some light exercise on the e-bikes. If you're familiar with zone minutes, I get between 15-75 each 18 mile round trip, depending on how hard I peddle. It's usually enough to cover my exercise for the week. I can always peddle harder on the way home when I'm not worried about being sweaty.
