Well It's quite a lot of it, I used the hashtags that at least partially relevant or may partially describe ideas I promote.

Buy Nothing Day, day of protest in which participants pledge to buy nothing for 24 hours to raise awareness of the negative environmental, social, and political consequences of overconsumption.
Buy Nothing Day is a pretty significant day, which is celebrated by a lot of people all around the world. It is essentially a global day of protest against consumerism, letās put an end to the issue of overconsumption.

The Guardian
Since the 1980s, fossil fuel firms have run ads touting climate denial messages ā many of which theyād now like us to forget. Hereās our visual guide.
Why is meaningful action to avert the climate crisis proving so difficult? It is, at least in part, because of ads.
The fossil fuel industry has perpetrated a multi-decade, multibillion dollar disinformation, propaganda and lobbying campaign to delay climate action by confusing the public and policymakers about the climate crisis and its solutions. This has involved a remarkable array of advertisements ā with headlines ranging from āLies they tell our childrenā to āOil pumps lifeā ā seeking to convince the public that the climate crisis is not real, not human-made, not serious and not solvable. The campaign continues to this day. (...)

The mainstream environmental movement receives a lot of criticism for their proposed āgreenā technical solutions to climate change.
āThis is a fantasy sold to us by an environmental movement that promises we can continue to indulge in orgies of consumption and maintain the levels of waste and perpetual growth that define the industrial age.ā

Medium: The Earth has 57.27 million square miles of land, we only need to convert 0.2% of it to solar.

āWe can power the whole world with a relatively small amount of solar panels. The Earth has 57.27 million square miles of land, we only need to convert 0.2% of it to solar, and we can power ourselves entirely. To give some perspective, it is estimated that 1% of land is built up and human-occupied (cities and towns not farmland). In other words, if we can convert 20% of urban areas around the globe to have solar on them, then we can fully power ourselves!ā
However, large-scale photovoltaic solar farms envisioned over the Sahara desert would do more harm than good:
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2020GL090789
āLarge-scale photovoltaic solar farms envisioned over the Sahara desert can meet the world's energy demand while increasing regional rainfall and vegetation cover. However, adverse remote effects resulting from atmospheric teleconnections could offset such regional benefits. We use state-of-the-art Earth-system model simulations to evaluate the global impacts of Sahara solar farms. Our results indicate a redistribution of precipitation causing Amazon droughts and forest degradation, and global surface temperature rise and sea-ice loss, particularly over the Arctic due to increased polarward heat transport, and northward expansion of deciduous forests in the Northern Hemisphere.

Climate change and our current socioeconomic system.
Ā· People need to examine their consumption habits.
Ā· Birthrates and population need to be bellow the carrying capacity threshold.
Ā· Debt-based currencies need to be replaced by debt-free currencies.
Ā· Urban planning needs to be changed. And no, Iām not one of those who propose that people have to live in coffin apartments in overcrowded cities; I actually propose the opposite! go rural!.
Ā· Planned obsolescence and inefficient designs need to be replaced by new systems, a new renewable energy and smartgrid infrastructure needs to be built, etc.
Ā· Progressive tax systems need to be implemented to fund the new infrastructure and social services.
Ā· We need to change the approach to ājobsā and āwork-timeā . Do people really need to work 5-6 days a week? Wouldnāt it be better if people had more time to grow a garden, do some DIY stuff, study, research by themselves, take care of their relatives, get involved in their communities? Wouldn't it be better if people could use new technologies to work and study more from home?
After reading some articles those were my conclusions. Some sources:

Iām not saying I agree necessarily with all their recommendations though.

Really interesting article on the #Burningman crews discussing measures to avoing corruption of the free and creative spirits culture by soul crushing consumerism.
I say right on #burners right on time and right on the subject. Great points and great measures although also read the posts for additional well thought out actions.

The low-impact way of life that is emerging at Wurrukāan is currently being captured on film as part of a documentary called A Simpler Way: Crisis as Opportunity, written and produced by Jordan Osmond (Happen Films) and Samuel Alexander (Simplicity Institute). The documentary is set for release in April 2016.
The purpose of the documentary is to unflinchingly describe the overlapping crises of industrial civilisation and explain why a āsimpler wayā of life, based on material sufficiency not limitless growth, signifies the only coherent response to those crises. The dominant mode of development today seeks to universalise high-consumption consumer lifestyles, but this is environmentally catastrophic and it has produced perverse inequalities of wealth. Even the privileged few who have attained material affluence rarely find it satisfying or fulfilling, because consumerism just leaves people feeling empty and alone. Consequently, our forthcoming documentary seeks to show why genuine progress today means rejecting consumerism, transcending growth economics, and building new forms of life based on permaculture, simple living, renewable energy, and localised economies.
But what does that mean? And how should we go about building a new world? Mainstream environmentalism calls on us to take shorter showers, recycle, buy āgreenā products, and turn the lights off when we leave the room, but these measures are grossly inadequate. We need more fundamental change ā personally, culturally, and structurally. Most of all, we need to reimagine the good life beyond consumer culture and begin building a world that supports a simpler way of life. This does not mean hardship or deprivation. It means focusing on what is sufficient to live well. The premise of our documentary is that a simple life can be a good life.
One of the main concerns driving this documentary, and the Wurrukāan project more generally, is the uncomfortable realisation that even the worldās most successful ecovillages have ecological footprints that are too high to be universalised. In other words, even after many decades of the modern environmental movement, we still donāt have many or any examples of what a flourishing āone planetā existence might look. This is highly problematic because if people do not have some understanding of what sustainability requires of us or what it might look like, it will be hard to mobilise individuals and communities to build such a world. A Simpler Way represents an attempt to envision and demonstrate what āone planetā living might look like and provoke a broader social conversation about the radical implications of living in an age of limits.
We hope that this documentary will challenge and inspire people to explore a simpler way of life and to begin building sufficiency-based economies that thrive within planetary limits. If you feel this is a worthwhile film for social change, please support our project by donating to our Indiegogo campaign and sharing the link with your networks.
