Regenerative Community Building – One Community Weekly Progress Update #191

Regenerative community building is one way we as a species can begin to consciously steward our planet. Designing an open source and free-shared model for this will make it easier and more affordable. Combining the components of foodenergy, and housing with sustainable and Highest Good approaches to education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, and global stewardship practices can also make it a better way of living than the way most people are living now.
