Sustainable Civilization Strategies – One Community Weekly Progress Update #259

Sustainable civilization strategies are needed if we are to achieve a sustainable planet. One Community is creating them as open source and free-shared and covering food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more. When combined in to a complete model, we call it living and creating for The Highest Good of All.
