The plan is to build a YouTube channel to showcase community groups, businesses and artists doing solarpunk style things.

This is the very beginning of this project. By joining now you can have a big impact in how it is shaped and what direction we take.

Who you’ll be co-founding with

Me (Alex)! I've worked as a journalist in the UK, Venezuela and India. After that I led the campaign to stop Brixton Market getting knocked down and created the world's first Tea Pub. We raised more than £400,000 for it through crowdfunding and seed investors.
