Cooperation as the New Medium of Exchange – One Community Weekly Progress Update #283

Instead of competing with each other, what if we worked together and made cooperation the new medium of exchange? One Community is open sourcing sustainable and replicable approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more as a path to this goal. We call this living and creating for The Highest Good of All.
