One Community Weekly Progress Update #269

“Eco-permanence is ecologically sustainable living. Creating eco-permanence globally can be accomplished if enough people want it. We see the path to creating this as making global stewardship practices easy enough, affordable enough and attractive enough to become self-replicating. Open source and free-shared sustainability components covering food, energy, housing, education, economics, and more can make this possible by improving accessibility, lowering costs, and being combined to provide a higher quality of living. This is the May 20, 2018 edition (#269) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments."

Measure Everything in Beavers - YouTube

The US is one of only 3 countries in the world that doesn't use the metric system. This satirical song about measuring with beavers was written by a 10-year old and pokes fun at our current system and proposes something better... or we could just use the metric system like everyone else. What do you think: Standard, Metric, or Beavers?
