The Ethical Superstore - Patagonia

The Ethical Superstore - Patagonia

Founded in 1972, Patagonia is an ethosolution organization, producer of ethosolution products, and ethical superstore that grew from a small business into the sustainability and environmental powerhouse they now represent. Their focus is to truly make a positive impact in the world and their primary engines for doing this are providing an ethical shopping alternative through organic sportswear, organic outdoor clothing, ethical business practices, their Common Threads Initiative, and an amazing diversity of other approaches to eco-green product creation and environmental activism. While their environmental action arguabley touches in some way every environmental sector of the planet, Patagonia was one of the first companies in the world to switch to entirely organic cotton for their main consumer offering: go green products for physical lifestyles and sports like climbing, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fly fishing, paddling, trail running and more.

International Sustainable Living Communities Development Strategy and Implementation

We believe creating successful sustainability models that will be embraced and duplicated globally by the mainstream public is maximized by our ability to engage and inspire people while simultaneously making it easy to replicate. Once we provide what is needed, we see this model duplicating rapidly. We also feel this duplication will happen quickly internationally due to the affordability of overseas land, less restrictive building environments, and the spirit of adventure in many people who really desire to make a difference for those who need it most. To offer non-profit leadership and support inspiring as many people as possible, we are purposed to expanding sustainability to include fulfilled living practices and aggressively and indefinitely free-sharing and open source evolvingall aspects of an increasingly comprehensive sustainability model.

People Development

People Development

Creating a new way to live and model for a sustainable civilization has the ability to go beyond basic survival needs and also address the needs of the human spirit. Whereas food, energy and shelter are essential to our basic existence, we believe humanity is beginning a great re-learning and expansion of previously established ideas that is opening us up to the development of new models of collaboration, cooperation, innovation, harmony, and creative expression. We think education and emotional growth are foundational as new focal points of sustainability because we as a species are shifting and collectively realizing that in order to change the world outside, we must change what is within ourselves. One Community is contributing to this Shift through models dedicated to living for The Highest Good of All and the development of people and tools, tutorials, and systems that are capable of making life easier, more rewarding, and more fulfilling for everyone by establishing duplicable living models that are sustainable and more self sufficient.

Vermiculture Composting Toilet Plans and How to Compost at Home

Vermiculture Composting Toilet Plans and How to Compost at Home

We see worm composting bin integration into eco friendly toilets as the wave of the future with tremendous benefit and application especially for third world countries struggling with waste disposal and food production. Before this can happen, however, we see the necessity for demonstrating and open source sharing a model that is affordable and easy to build and use while simultaneously meeting existing international building and health standards.

For The Highest Good of All

For The Highest Good of All

Here's a sample from this page:
"We are a “for The Highest Good of All” organization interested in working with others for The Highest Good of All too. What this means is we believe in conducting business ethically and living a genuine life of integrity and forward-thinking progress and contribution. As part of this, we also believe in the possibility to truly unite our world for the best of everyone by providing a roadmap that works for enough people. Not in a utilitarian “majority rules” or “our way is better than your way” approach, but one with the interests of all humankind in mind and a diversity of options as broad as the perspectives of the people who may want them.
While many call this overly ambitious, we consider it foundational to our organization and to be simply “best practice sustainability” because it is a commitment to living in integrity with each other as individuals, and as a species, and moving forward demonstrating a consciousness focused on what is for the best of everyone."
