Reinventing the Sustainability Industry – One Community Weekly Progress Update #135

Reinventing the sustainability industry as an open source and collaboration-focused industry will speed innovation, lower costs, improve quality, maximize producer and inventor benefits, and speed progress towards a sustainable planet for all. A truly comprehensive and holistic approach to developing the necessary foundations for this is open source sustainability solutions combining food, energy, and housing with ecocentric models for fulfilled living, education, sustainable economics and earth stewardship. One Community calls this living and creating for The Highest Good of All:

• 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
