Sustainability Role Modeling – One Community Weekly Progress Update #316

Sustainability role modeling is one of the goals of One Community’s open source and free-sharing process that includes sustainable approaches to food, energy, and housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, and global stewardship practices. We are doing this to create a global collaboration of teacher/demonstration hubs working together for what we call 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
