The Solution to Everything is the Solution to Anything – One Community Weekly Progress Update #258

Jack Reed said, “The solution to everything is the solution to anything.” One Community thinks this is true and is creating open source blueprints, tools, tutorials, and do-it-yourself instructions for sustainable living models purposed to demonstrate and support this. Watch this week’s update video for details about how we’re making it possible.
