Adaptable Solutions for Green Living – One Community Weekly Progress Update #210

Adaptable solutions for green living are needed if our goal is a planet capable of longterm support for the growing human population. If properly created, these solutions can also help humanity become conscientious stewards of our shared planet. We see open source and free-shared models as the fastest, most sustainable, and for The Highest Good of All approach to this.
