Strategic Sustainable Lifestyle Creation – One Community Weekly Progress Update #109

Strategic sustainable lifestyle creation makes sense to include both physical sustainability (food, energy, housing, etc.) and emotional sustainability (education, economics, recreation, etc.). Combining and open source and free-sharing these as a complete model can make this lifestyle an accessible reality for everyone. One Community is doing this as a path to global transformation 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<
