Brainstorming Session #1 - Notes

Written by: John-Paul

A great discussion today - thanks everybody for your input (including James on line) and thanks Martin for the scale container model.

I'll go through the video and edit the discussion. Two links from the discussion today that I thought may be of particular interest that fit with the philosophy of the project and may help inform the direction and style:

Alan mentioned Solar Punks "a movement in speculative fiction, art, fashion, and activism that seeks to answer and embody the question 'what does a sustainable civilization look like, and how can we get there?'" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solarpunk

The Arcadians (very much worth a listen - again this fits well with the philosophy of the project - understanding we need to live within planetary boundaries, not being wasteful and clever use of the resources we have) : https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/68-simon-michaux

Are we Solar Punks? or Arcadians ?... something new that builds on all these ideas ?... or something new altogether?

More to come on the next steps.
