Creating a Global Solution – One Community Weekly Progress Update #177

Creating a global solution that simultaneously addressed humanity’s most pressing challenges is possible if we approach these challenges as both interrelated and interdependent. Open source and free-shared sustainability components that include food, energy, and housing combined with Highest Good approaches to education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, and global stewardship practices is one way to accomplish this. One Community calls this 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
