Eco-communities, COVID-19 and Other Potential Pandemics – One Community Weekly Progress Update #367

Let’s talk about eco-communities, COVID-19 and other potential pandemics. In this week’s video we discuss how we expect people living in environments like One Community would be happier, healthier, and safer than most of the rest of the world right now. The discussion includes what pandemic preparation, mitigation, containment, and recovery would look like in a “Highest Good of All” living environment like One Community.
