Lush green communities with roof top gardens, floating villages, transport fuelled by clean energy and hope-filled sci-fi tales. Imagine a world in which existing technologies are deployed for the greater good of both people and the planet.
It s called solarpunk. The term, coined in 2008, refers to an art movement which broadly envisions how the future might look if we lived in harmony with nature in a sustainable and egalitarian world. Solarpunk is really the only solution to the existential corner of climate disaster we have backed ourselves into as a species, says Michelle Tulumello, a solarpunk art teacher in New York state.
CALGARY Expedition Air is looking for local artists to creatively use carbon emission infused powder for its Artist in Residence program. The company s mission is to create change using carbon emissions and converts carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into consumer products. We store the gaseous CO2 into inorganic solid powders, said Madison Savilow, venture lead for Expedition Air. Those then go into end products and in our consumer product line that means anything from concrete planters to crayons to pens even textiles. Just behind the Shepard Energy Centre in southeast Calgary is where you ll find the Alberta Carbon Conversion Technology Centre. CO2 is being captured from the flue stacks of the natural gas plant before it hits the atmosphere.
