Just to be clear, I haven't researched the genre much. I think it's very fascinating but i went straight off aesthetics and the vibe I got from the pictures i found. I hope everyone enjoys!

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been thinking a lot about waste management lately in a post-capitalist society, and I wanted to pick this community's brain since I haven't been able to find many deep dives on the topic.

Even in a fully circular economy, absolute 100% zero waste is practically impossible; entropy dictates that some form of unusable residue or degradation will always exist. Currently, our globalized system relies heavily on a broken paradigm: developed nations export their waste to the Global South, where it often ends up in unmanaged landfills, clogs wastewater drains, or pollutes local rivers and oceans. Meanwhile, the people who generate the waste have the luxury of not having out of sight, out of mind attitude.

As we aspire to a Solarpunk society, this is something we should strive away from, and I'm really curious about how we could achieve this.

* Physical Waste Management: In a society deeply integrated with nature, how would everyday waste be collected, treated, and processed? Would waste segregation still be necessary at the household/community level, would segregation be voluntary, and what systems would make that seamless?

* Encouraging Participation: How would a Solarpunk culture encourage people to actively participate in sorting and sustainable habits without resorting to shaming and punishment?

* The Ethics of "Dirty" Labor: Right now, waste management and sanitation are some of the lowest-paid employment opportunities while also being the most underappreciated and hazardous jobs in society. In a Solarpunk framework, how do we incentivize or share these necessary tasks so no one is forced to do the "dirty work" for everyone else?

I’d love to hear your theories, fictional ideas, or any real-world regenerative models that inspire you!
