- solar powered guillotines
- piezoelectric vibrators that charge themselves on the leaked motion of the daily train commute.
- librarians trained to administer free vaccines -

@mikemccaffrey @thomasfuchs @alice wait the left has elected leaders?

- Guillotines@thomasfuchs energy storage, if you're me. Re-wilding tech (which can be very tech)
Agricultural tech that walks back from high-fossil-inputs and pesticides, like agrivoltatics and regenerative agriculture.
Ocean cleanup and plastic removal tech.
Micro-mobility.
