How do we create measurable sustainable change globally? One approach would be measuring implementation of sustainable food, energy, and housing models. One Community is supporting this with open source plans for all three of these areas and also adding open source and sustainable approaches to education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more. We call all of this living and creating for The Highest Good of All and the goal is a sustainable Earth and the benefits that would provide for all life on it.
