Green-Living Community Solutions – One Community Weekly Progress Update #145

Green-living community solutions are being developed that include a more holistic approach to sustainability. They combine sustainable approaches to food, energy, and housing with fulfilled living, open source and free education, and Highest Good economics models. The purpose is to develop a more enjoyable way of living that is sustainable and for The Highest Good of All life on our shared planet:

• • 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
