Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to the concept of Solarpunk and since in the near future I'm going to be the owner of an apartment I wanted to know if the community has any suggestion about practical things I can do in an indoor only environment.
The place is a small attic and has 3 rooms: a kitchen+livingroom, a bigger bedroom and a smaller bedroom/studio. It has got plenty of sunlight coming in. If you need more info please ask

Edit: Thanks for all the kind suggestion, unfortunately the house has no balcony, but I'll try to gather knowledge on the other topics that came out in the comments.

You might be interested in the balcony gardening community here, much of it can also be done indoors near a window (or in a growth tent with LED lights).

If it is an attic apartment you might also be able to install some solarpanels on the roof.

But in general Solarpunk isn't primarily about growing plants and solarpanels, that's just the maybe most visible part of the aestethics.

Much like punk culture in general it about all sorts of anti-consumer and DIY culture as well as connecting with others for mutual aid and disaster preparedness.
