Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: Open Source Energy Infrastructure Update

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: Open Source Energy Infrastructure Update


Our next step will be establishing the necessary relationships to make ordering and building a system like this (as part of our self-sufficient and self-propagating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities strategy) as easy as possible including:
  1. Establishing relationships with companies willing to A) offer discounts to consumers for new-business direct referrals through us and B) affordably drop-ship these orders anywhere in the world
  2. Open source sharing videos and tutorials for the building and setup process
  3. Streamlining the process as much as possible for people by expanding existing sustainability networks to create complete package ordering options wherever they don’t already exist

The Wikipedia Community: Open Source Education and Free Information for All

The Wikipedia Community: Open Source Education and Free Information for All

One Community features Wikipedia as an ethosolution idea and organization!!!

Wikipedia is an open source education and information resource that has evolved the way we access, share and updateinformation as a resource. We love it as an amazing ethosolution idea because it has literally organized the information of the entire human species into a free online encyclopedia supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation and populated/maintained by the Wikipedia community. It is funded by donations from the public, managed by an all volunteer staff, one of the top 10 most visited websites in the world, gets billions of page views monthly, and is operated under a free license so everyone can use it the way that works best for them.

Social Architecture

A life rich with personal growth, meaningful relationships and activities that build meaningful relationships, sharing, and contribution are foundations of a social architecture and culture of fulfilled living that we feel is essential to comprehensive sustainability and our our four-phase global change strategy. By dedicating time specifically to creativity, self-care, teaching and open source sharing our specialized skills and passions, and the most beautiful aspects of being alive, we integrate the things we love to do into our daily experience as an essential part of our “celebration of life philosophy”, our mission, our culture, and an infrastructure for sustainability for the complete human experience that includes emotional sustainability.
