Comprehensive and Sustainable Global Regeneration – One Community Weekly Progress Update #133

Comprehensive and sustainable global regeneration will happen as soon as enough people participate. Open source sustainability solutions combining food, energy, and housing with ecocentric models for fulfilled living, education, sustainable economics and earth stewardship can help increase participation by making sustainability easier, more affordable, and demonstrating a way of living that most people will find is better than the way they are living now. Developing this way of life as self-replicating teacher/demonstration hubs is what One Community calls living and creating for The Highest Good of All:

• 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

This board will have two headers on it. A Raspberry Pi 2 and an Arduino…cross wired so it will work with both and look something like this:

Mike also began testing some new touchscreen hardware that you can see in this screenshot from our collaborative call…
