Global Collaboration for the Highest Good – One Community Weekly Progress Update #324

One Community is helping build a global collaboration for the Highest Good through sustainable and self-replication community models. We are doing this by designing and open source sustainable approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more.

• 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
