Let’s build sustainable and self-sufficient teacher/demonstration hubs as a path to having more fun. Within these environments people can have more social and recreational things to do, all within walking distance, and work less and have more time to do these things. One Community is creating the open source plans for this social architecture and fulfilled living model as well as the food, energy, housing, education, and economic structures that will make it possible.
