We hold high standards for transparency, accountability, and responsibility. We share ledgers of our production not only to inspire others, but to motivate and top ourselves.

It has been 2 weeks since our last ledger, and so much has happened since then! Our current 10 volunteers have been hard at work/play in being the change we wish to see in this world.

Here's a recap of what we've accomplished in 2 weeks, with some of our most exciting progress in Eden history:
