One CommunityEco-Renovating Our Standards of Living – One Community Weekly Progress Update #156
Eco-renovating our standards of living is a path to creating a world that works for everyone. By creating a higher standard of living made possible through sustainable and Highest Good of All approaches to food, energy, housing, education, economics, fulfilled living practices, and Earth Stewardship, we can create and open source a living model that will predictably spread on its own. This is what One Community is doing:
-
- 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
