Developing a European Solarpunk Nomad route, using electric vehicles for sustainable travel, community building, and a DApp for nomadic changemakers to reduce emissions and promote eco-wisdom.

Since April 2022, we have been facilitating the collective rise of Solarpunk nomadism and gathering a tribe of nomadic changemakers. We have focused on concept development, community building, and the creation of the first two vehicles. Now, we are shifting our focus towards establishing Solarpunk Nomad routes and developing the Solarpunk Nomad dApp. The vehicles are community-owned and used for accelerating the transition to a more sustainable society ☀️ 🔋 ⚡️ 🚐

WHO ARE THE SOLARPUNK NOMADS Changemakers, dreamers, and builders who live nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyles using zero-carbon emission vehicles (EV vans, EV bikes, sailboats, etc.) powered by renewable energies.

👉 These nomads are always connected to the internet with satellite connections and are proactive in building a Solarpunk society. 👉 These nomads will be the storytellers and main instigators of a society where advanced technology and eco-wisdom will create a brighter future for everyone.

WHAT WE WANT TO BUILD [NOW] 🔜 Open the first European route of Solarpunk Nomads, by riding an electric camper bike from Italy [Milan] to Belgium [Bruxelles] to connect regen nodes from Southern Europe to Northern Europe.

🔜 Complete the set-up of the electric Tuk Tuk in India to to be used in education activities and expeditions to document Climate Change (developed in collaboration with AtlantisDAO).

🔜 Build the Solarpunk Nomads DApp helping travelling changemakers to: -monitor and reduce co2 emissions -access community vehicles and places -network with fellow Solarpunk nomads [map] -follow and co create Solarpunk nomads routes [map] -leverage regenerative activities at the local level

WHAT WE HAVE BUILT SO FAR [2023] ✔️Purchase and initial set-up of the solarpunk Tuk Tuk in India. ✔️Initial set up of a solar-powered E-bike with a trailer, to be stationed in locations in central Europe and used for promotion programs, including being present at ReFi and crypto events in Europe. Solarpunk Bike concept Travel set-up ✔️Mission to India (ongoing) to set up the partnership with Atlantis Dao, build the first vehicle and conduct educational activities. ✔️ Set up of the social treasury for nomads in need. ✔️Completed the Solarpunk Nomadism digital guidebook and distributed it for free to over 200 people.

TEAM

🐻 Marco Bear, a young solarpunk nomad in passion with education and climate activism. You can find him now in India activating the solarpunk nomads tuk tuk and around climate web3 climate spaces. 🌍 Earthbasedsoul, a wildlife biologist and visionary, has spent the last years spreading awareness on social media about the Climate Emergency and Biodiversity crisis.

WHY IS SOLARPUNK NOMADISM A CLIMATE SOLUTION?

🌳 Promotes zero-carbon mobility, solar energy, and electric mobility. 🌳 Leverages nomadism to promote the Solarpunk vision. 🌳 Helps changemakers to adapt to the Climate Emergency and to maintain functionality in challenging times. 🌳 Helps to reduce the carbon footprint of the community. 🌳 Promotes minimalism and a rethinking of lifestyle toward sustainability. 🌳 Has very high potential scalability inside and outside the Web3 Space. 🌳 Could become the backbone of positive climate action communication. 🌳 Facilitates low carbon IRL connections between changemakers, projects, events.
