I found these paragraphs inspiring enough to share. Just living is praxis when you live mindfully.

If you want to use more solar power but can't put up panels, get a power strip and a light timer and setit to be on from 8 AM to 4 PM and off otherwise and see what you can do with it. I use it to charge ebike batteries and I've found that if you don't ride every day it works well enough that I still always have a full charge when I ride

I had an ebike for a month and it cost almost nothing to recharge, so this would be a really good fit for home solar as you mention.

Miss that thing a lot, it made going out even for mundane things or just even exploring so fun. Now i'm back to my manual bicycle 😢 still fun but much more tiring lol

My apologies - it was a free one provided by my local government for a month. We previously had a docked ebike system, but it went bankrupt due to vandalism... The replacement system put in place was to give people the ebikes directly, which worked much better

Where do you live? Government giving ebikes for free sounds crazy for me, that I live in Italy

...I've read your sentence three times- what do you you mean by power strip and light timer? how do you charge your ebike battery with this?
