Building an Eco-bridge Between Idealism and Pragmatism - One Community Weekly Progress Update #115 - One Community : One Community

Building an Eco-bridge Between Idealism and Pragmatism - One Community Weekly Progress Update #115 - One Community : One Community

“Building an eco-bridge between idealism and pragmatism is possible through open source sustainability components. The path to accomplishing this is to inspire people with a working model. This model should be designed for widespread appeal by being affordable, applicable across a diversity of cultures, easily accessible, created so that people with average knowledge and little or no experience can duplicate it, and with a marketing engine capable of exposing enough people to build the necessary momentum for it to continue on its own. We see this as for The Highest Good of All and having the ability to create a New Golden Age of cooperation, collaboration, innovation, creativity, sustainable living, and increased happiness for everyone and everything on this planet. This is the May 17th, 2015 edition (#115) of our weekly progress update detailing the previous week's development and accomplishments.”

Free-shared Education: Highest Good Lesson Plan - All Ages ● All Learning Levels ● Any Environment ● Open Source & Globally Collaborative : One Community

What would the world look like if we all started living for the highest good of each other and all life on our shared planet?

Here is a newly created educational lesson plan that takes the concept of "Highest Good" and teaches all the traditional subjects (Math, Science, etc.) and some not-so-traditional subjects (Technology & Innovation, Trades, etc.) using this central theme.

Making Sustainability Mainstream - One Community Weekly Progress Update #114 : One Community

Making Sustainability Mainstream - One Community Weekly Progress Update #114 : One Community

“Making sustainability mainstream is a process of making it easy enough, affordable enough, and demonstrating it as having enough value for sustainability ideas to spread on their own. This can be accomplished through an open source approach that combines physical sustainability (food, energy, housing) with emotional sustainability (education, recreation, business creation, and Earth stewardship) to generate a better quality of living that will benefit us all. One Community calls this living and creating for The Highest Good of All. This is the May 10th, 2015 edition (#114) of our weekly progress update detailing the previous week's development and accomplishments.”

Per il Massimo Bene di Tutti : One Community

One Community now has our Highest Good for All page translated into Italian: http://www.onecommunityglobal.org/per-il-massimo-bene-di-tutti/ Russian will be next for this page. If you’d like to try something fun, view it in Google Chrome and then translate it back to English. You’ll see very quickly why it is helpful to have a native speaker translate pages about uncommon topics like this rather than just leaving it up to Google.

Thank you Vasily Biserov for your fantastic translation work!
