Systemic Approach to Total Sustainability – One Community Weekly Progress Update #108

Taking a systemic approach to total sustainability means a progressive approach to sustainability that includes all aspects of life: food, energy, housing, education, economics, recreation, and more. Open source and free-sharing these as a complete model can create a more comprehensive and sustainable option for people. 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

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is supporting a systemic approach to total sustainability through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students:

• Learn about the components: Education open source hub
• Learn how the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
  

This last week the core team finished transferring 50% of the written design for the “Civilization” lesson plan to the website – which you can see below. When complete on the site, this lesson plan will use the central theme of Civilization to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment.
