Sustainable Global Energy Access – One Community Weekly Progress Update #334

Sustainable global energy access is possible through an open source network of sustainable teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities. One Community is designing the foundations for this and including open source and free-shared tutorials covering food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more.

• 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
