For this episode, Ariel and Aleya sit down to talk with Dahvia Hylton, Jamaican Climate Advocate and educator, formerly from the Jamaica Climate Change Youth Council (JCCYC) and currently still supporting the Stronger Caribbean Together Network. We discuss deep sea mining, the oceans being the second set of lungs of the earth, hurricane Melissa, Solarpunk-esque happenings on the island and hints of the best path forward.

This episode, Ariel questions Aleya about lunarpunk, how she got into it, why it attracts her, and even some things that she doesn't like about it. Aleya then turns the interview around to ask Ariel about solarpunk, how she got involved, and its application in her everyday life. This episode also serves to announce changes at Solarpunk Presents; Christina has stepped back for personal reasons, and Aleya is stepping forward into the role of cohost, and we're pretty excited about it.

This episode of DIY Virtuality has me talking couchsurfing, workaway, travel, hitchiking and alternative currencies with Albi or Albrecht Ihlenburg or Rumkommen, a former couchsurfer of mine! We also have a song together where he made the track on his own, I found it, asked permission, and made “Hammerhead” from the album “Seeker” and also on “Seekers of Utopia” the expanded album. Audio crackling due to unsteady signal, working on it.
