Making a Positive Difference – One Community Weekly Progress Update #99

If making a positive difference is presented as easy enough, affordable enough, and attractive enough, it will predictably gain mainstream support and spread on its own. One Community is creating open source food, energy, housing, education, economic, fulfilled living, and earth stewardship components and combining them as a replicable Highest Good society model for people interested in making a positive difference with how they live. We are designing these to be built as a complete and globally-replicable Highest Good of All teacher/demonstration hubs.
