I keep thinking of the things I am doing to prepare myself and my community for #climatechange as "growth". Growing community. Growing soil. Growing a garden. Personal growth. Environmental growth.
Yet when we scale this up "growth" becomes something else. It becomes exploitative. On the national and corporate scales, "growth" means little more than "extract more money".
How do we separate those two concepts? The connotations between the two need to be wildly different for a #solarpunk future.
