Whole-Life Green-Living Models – One Community Weekly Progress Update #107

Creating whole-life green-living models means evolving sustainability to include all aspects of life, not just food, energy, and housing. Open source and free-sharing these plus education, recreation, economics, and earth stewardship can create an even 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
