First page of Jam's 'How to be a Solarpunk'. A farmer cat holding a plant talks to the reader: ''SolarPunks' believe that we can create a better future together. One where we all thrive without damaging the planet or its people. Maybe you've wanted to join in on the fun!'. A confused cat is confused and narration above it reads: 'But what if you don't know where to start?'. Then a happy title reads: 'JUST DECIDE!', and the cat says 'I want to be a SolarPunk!'. Narration reads: 'You can start today, wherever you are! 'Being a SolarPunk' is all about making DECISIONS. In our lives, there are some options that are 'more' or 'less' aligned with the SolarPunk ethos. To be a SolarPunk, choose the best aligned option as often as possible.' The confused cat is walking towards a sign that says 'MORE SOLARPUNK', which points to wind turbines, eco villages, bikes, gardens etc, walking away from a sign that says 'LESS SOLARPUNK', and to a factory spewing smoke with a sign that reads 'BUY BUY BUY'. There's also a cybertruck and other cars, a sign that says '24/7 grindset' and pollution.
