Posting this here so I don't forget about it, but also to share: Appropedia is a whole wiki devoted to sustainability projects, many of which can be easily accomplished by an individual or small organization (not to say that climate change responsibility falls on individuals). Found on the Solarpunk subreddit.

Wanna put this weather to work for you instead of fighting it?
Wanna reduce your electric bill?
Want your air conditioning to be more effective?
Wanna try a fun and different way of cooking food?
Do you have a car windshield sunshade and a sunny location?
Then you can make a solar cooker that really works! This might be easiest #diy #SolarCooker to build!

I haven't tried this one yet (not my photo) but I love how simple it is. If you're on the fence about #SolarCooking because of how complicated a lot of the designs are, maybe give it a go. Free energy that doesn't heat your house or pollute anything.

Hey! It looks like a lot of people are doing #introduction and reintroduction posts because of the ongoing exodus from other social media.

I toot a lot about #SolarCooking because it's a free, zero pollution way to cook that is ideal for summer cooking because it doesn't heat your home or strain the electric grid. And it's fun! I'm looking to test the boundaries of weather and seasons for solar cooking in my region.
I made my own #SolarOven / #SolarCooker out of free materials (cardboard boxes from the recycling, plastic bags, a scrap piece of clear acrylic) and some cheap supplies that tend to get used once and thrown away. (Glue, tape, aluminum foil). Pics attached (I've made two of them so far!)
People ask me sometimes for plans, and I usually direct them to the Solar Cooking Wiki. solarcooking.fandom.com/wiki/S That's where I learned most of what I know now (plus my own first hand experience). If you like paper books, Cooking With Sunshine by Lorraine Anderson is an excellent reference. I'm also in the process of writing a zine about solar cooking that I'll distribute for free once it's done!
All the food I make in the solar cooker and otherwise is #vegan because I feel strongly that it's the fairest and most sustainable way to eat. I also focus on making real food from scratch (especially #beans and #bread) to show how useful the solar oven is. It's not an Easy Bake Oven! (Though I have baked a cake in it).
I also toot and share stuff about the #ClimateCrisis, #veganism, #urbanism #ebikes and #libraries, among other things... It's all linked together. I want to be part of a fair and sustainable world for all people. Proud to be an anarchist, #NoGodsNoMasters #NoBordersNoNations

First time cooking #vegetables in my diy trash #SolarOven- kinda funny I hadn't tried it yet!
It's a summer veggie stew inspired by Emmymade's recent "Glop" video (except #vegan). Corn, tomato, zucchini, green pepper, onion and garlic, with homemade #seitan beefy chunks. Seasoned with salt, pepper, oregano and olive oil.

It took a long time for the onion and peppers to soften, but it's pretty good. I put some of my solar-cooked pinto beans in when I ate it. Excellent!

The only time I've used any heating appliances in my kitchen today was the kettle for my morning coffee because the #SolarCooker was doing it instead. So cool! (Literally)
