“Open source sustainability means creating something good for everyone. Expanding open sourcing and free-sharing sustainability beyond food, energy, and housing to also include education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, and global stewardship practices is even better. One Community is an all-volunteer nonprofit developing all of these in support of a global collaboration for The Highest Good of all people and life on our planet. This is the August 27th, 2017 edition (#231) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments.”

One Community Weekly Progress Update #230

“Creating a better world is possible if enough people want it. In many ways it is already happening, in other areas much work remains. Open source and free-shared sustainability components that include food, energy, and housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, and global stewardship practices are one approach for global improvement. One Community is an all-volunteer nonprofit developing all of these in support of a global collaboration for The Highest Good of all people and life on our planet. This is the August 20th, 2017 edition (#230) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments.”

One Community Weekly Progress Update #229

“It is interesting to observe the stigma against mentioning utopia, or making utopia a reality on Earth, when war, destruction, and the newest multi-billion dollar casino are accepted as part of our current reality. The fact is, however, that amazing things are being created and for any utopian vision to happen, all it needs is to be something that is accessible to everyone and accomplishable with resources available to average people. A viable society or civilization such as this should address human needs from a perspective of fulfilled living as well as sustainable food, energy, and construction practices to combine internal/emotional needs with external/survival needs and provide sustainability for the complete human experience structured for The Highest Good of All. This is the August 13th, 2017 edition (#229) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments.”

One Community Weekly Progress Update #228

“The technology and knowhow exit now for sustainable civilization engineering. We can create a completely sustainable world that meets the needs of all people if we want to. We can solve starvation, homelessness, lack of energy infrastructure, pollution, and more through sustainable food, energy, and housing. We can further address crime, poverty, social injustice and inequality, and war if we include sustainable and open source economic and education models. One Community is developing tools, tutorials, and open source resources for all these sustainable civilization foundations because we believe now is the time to create the sustainable planet we know is possible. This is the August 6th, 2017 edition (#228) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments.”
