I just really wanted to know what she had to say.

Overall, I think that's a great summary, and pretty relatable. I'm curious what her media diet is like. I'm guessing she doesn't quite have the time to browse Lemmy, but it's another reminder that this philosophy is really taking root culturally. Based on the video, I'm guessing she's getting stuff from Instagram.

What's interesting is that one of the early examples of solarpunk storytelling that comes to mind for me is a video she voiced for an animated short posted by the Intercept, in which she looks back on the climate crisis as an old woman living in a solarpunk future. So this definitely is on-brand for her.

I was curious too, but had no interest in clicking an IG link. So again, I'm grateful for your transcription
