Thanks to the internet, reinventing sustainability as a primarily open source and free-shared industry is possible if enough people participate. One Community is working towards this as part of a comprehensive and replicable model for creating a sustainable planet.

This last week the core team put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week we reviewed all content (video and articles) in Section 16 – Resources to assure relevancy due to significant narrative changes since inception. We also matched up all videos to coincide with those listed in that section, and then numbered all green step narratives in Sections 4, 5, 7, & 8 to coincide with Step Headings for ease of finding them. EPS and red sealing tape photos and description were also added to the materials list. We’d say we are now 93% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes.
