Ecological restoration draws on a wide range of ecological concepts.

Solarenergie in Solarpunk „Technically, all the energy of the world is solar energy. Plants harvest energy from the sun. Wind and tides are caused by the sun and its interaction with the Earth. Even geothermal energy is ultimately a result of the gravity of the sun which created an accretion disc that formed the planet Earth.“

Nachhaltige Zukunftsräume im Solarpunk: Zwischen Community Spaces, Urban Gardening und 3D Druck Soziale Treffpunkte – „Community Spaces“ Ein Trend, der sich aufzeigt, sind fehlende Treffpunkte für Junge Menschen. Dass die Jugendtreffs nur einen kleinen Teil der jugendlichen abdeckt ist kein Wunder. Es fehlen Orte, an denen junge sowie alte Menschen sich Treffen und gemeinsame Aktivitäten durchführen können.

Im Wasserwald by Kristof Loppnow “Im Wasserwald” is a 3D exploration game designed to bring players closer to activism. Modeled after a real forest occupation in Grünheide (Brandenburg), players can virtually explore the occupiers' camp. During this visit, photo stations continually reference the real-life camp. A radio report and atmospheric sound recordings (captured on-site) set the mood for the scene.
