Writing the Next Chapter of the Human Story – One Community Weekly Progress Update #136

Humanity is writing the next chapter of the human story. It will be either sustainable or unsustainable. If it is to be sustainable, it seems to make sense that a truly comprehensive and holistic approach will be the fastest path to success. One Community is forwarding this through open source sustainability solutions combining food, energy, and housing with ecocentric models for fulfilled living, education, sustainable economics and earth stewardship. We call this living and creating 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
