Episode 5.7: Building Dual Power, with Andre Rosario [aka HydroponicTrash]

André Rosario (aka HydroponicTrash) joins us this week on the podcast to tell Ariel all about dual power - what it is, how it fits in with solarpunk, and how people can mobilize it in their daily lives. Their conversation ranges from the history of the term dual power, to examples from André’s own life, to the concept of mutual aid, the importance of imagining a better world, how to build relationships as an introvert, and even includes a discussion of human nature.

Hey y'all! I'm Andre AKA #HydroponicTrash. I'm a hacker, a gardener, and an online weirdo who does #DIY projects and writes speculative #solarpunk fiction and nonfiction.
Been mainly on Twitter and TikTok on the same handle but decided to jump full-on into the fediverse. I write longform content at anarchosolarpunk.substack.com where I post everything from sort #solarpunk fiction, to detailed DIY articles. They range from building DIY, autonomous solar power stations, building community microgrids from renewable energy, building autonomous communication and internet systems. On top of that I talk about building food, water and shelter autonomy as well.
I don't pin myself to a particular political strategy, but I gather alot from #anarchism, #degrowth, #especifismo, #anarcho-communism, #democratic-confederalism, #ecosocialism, #utopian-socialism and #social-ecology. :anarchist_flag: :anarchy: :rojava3:

I really focus on the intersection of ecology, social change, and technology and how we can think about and actively build better futures!
