Yes, part of it is the idea that we can actually build a hopeful future that supports everyone. The future does not necessarily need to be bleak. We can hope for something better. Most of the stories focus on that future.

I think another key aspect of Solarpunk as philosophy is that we don't need to wait for anyone to bring about the future. We can build it through our own actions together. We just need to do it.

So, we can have a good future but we have to get our hands dirty and build that world now in the present. That is why I like the story I posted before. You see a group of people dealing with a crisis and building something together.
