Summary: <p>Kris de Decker's balcony in Barcelona is nice and sunny. Which is just as well, because a website depends on it. This week we chat to Kris, co-founder of Low-Tech Magazine, about why he built a solar-powered website and how human history can inspire modern environmental solutions. We're also talking about foie gras, faux gras, and bringing EU and non-EU Europe together.</p> <p>You can check out the solar-powered version of Low-Tech Magazine's website <a href="https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p>This week's Isolation Inspiration: <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2022/may/02/the-wagatha-christie-case-part-1-podcast" target="_blank">'Today in Focus - The Wagatha Christie case'</a>; <a href="https://granta.com/products/multiples/" target="_blank">'Multiples: 12 stories in 18 languages by 61 authors'</a>; <a href="https://fullofplants.com/the-best-vegan-foie-gras/" target="_blank">this vegan foie gras recipe</a>; <a href="https://lesglorieuses.fr/les-newsletters/impact-eng/#:~:text=Impact%20is%20a%20bilingual%20newsletter,to%20your%20inbox%20every%20Monday." target="_blank">Impact from Les Glorieuses, a feminist newsletter in English and French</a>.</p> <p>Thanks for listening!
