A New Paradigm for Eco-Living – One Community Weekly Progress Update #341

A new paradigm for eco-living is possible and needed. Global establishment is possible if we can make it easy enough, affordable enough, and desirable enough to spread on its own. One Community is facilitating this through open source tools, tutorials, and DIY resources covering food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more.

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
  
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs
