One CommunityLocalized Ecology – One Community Weekly Progress Update #250
Localized ecology is sustainability practices and management on the local level. Putting the power of intelligently and sustainably managing our shared environments in the hands of those people who live in them. One Community calls this living and creating for The Highest Good of All and we’re open source and free-sharing tools, resources, and DIY instructions for all aspects of creating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities capable of accomplishing this.
- 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
