Restoring Local-level Decision Making – One Community Weekly Progress Update #280

Sustainable and self-sufficient eco-communities can be a path to restoring local-level decision making for the benefit of residents, the planet, local communities, and more. Through conscious and conscientious stewardship, we can regenerate our world and provide more ethical and enjoyable living environments for ourselves and others too. One Community is supporting this through do-it-yourself open source blueprints, tools, tutorials, and resources.
