Creating Eco-Permanence – One Community Weekly Progress Update #269

Eco-permanence is ecologically sustainable living. Creating eco-permanence globally can be accomplished if enough people want it. We see the path to creating this as making global stewardship practices easy enough, affordable enough and attractive enough to become self-replicatingOpen source and free-shared sustainability components covering foodenergyhousingeducationeconomics, and more can make this possible by improving accessibility, lowering costs, and being combined to provide a higher quality of living.
