Replicable Highest Good sustainability is sustainable design specifically created with the intent for replication and positive benefit for all people and life on this planet. One Community sees this as a worthwhile goal and is creating open source and free-shared designs in support of this. These designs cover sustainable approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more.
