Global Change Progress – One Community Weekly Progress Update #157

Global change progress will happen at the speed people choose to participate. If we can demonstrate models for this that are easy enough, affordable enough, and attractive enough, participation will increase exponentially and they will spread on their own. Comprehensive sustainability and living and creating for The Highest Good of All can provide one viable model for this and One Community is developing such a model and open sourcing it as we do:

• • Here’s our project overview
  • Here’s our world-change methodology
    
  • Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
  • Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global change progress through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students:

• • • Learn about the components: Education open source hub
    • Learn how the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
      

This last week the core team transferred the final 25% of the written content for the Cooperation and Collaboration Lesson Plan to the website, as you see here. This lesson plan purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment, using the central theme of “Cooperation and Collaboration” is now 100% completely on our website.

Behind the scenes, we wrote the third 25% of the written part of the Summer Lesson Plan, bringing it to 75% complete.

We also completed the final 25% of the mindmap for the Work Lesson Plan, bringing it to 50% complete, which you see here:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global change progress through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

• • • Learn about the structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
    • See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This last week the core team completed another round of organizing the streamlined version of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page, which includes contributions provided by Naturopathic Doctor Matt Marturano (creator of the COHERENT model for comprehensive digestive health). This week we added the summary and FAQs to the page. The page is now approximately 99% complete.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global change progress through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

• • • Learn about: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
    • Learn about the different village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
    • Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This last week the core team put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week’s focus was reviewing, editing, and providing additions to Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 and showing more inclusive detailed measurements for Section 3 to increase clarifications of the excavation profile. We’d say we are now 74% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes.

We also replaced the header images for our open source shower head research page and rainwater harvesting and catchment pages after confirming accidental copyright infringement by one of our previous images use on these pages.

Working on the Tree House Village (Pod 7), Jesika Rohrbach (Architectural Drafter, Designer, and 3-D Modeler) added an additional round of details to the inside of the Tree House Village arts and crafts structure and also aesthetic enhancements and specifics to the outside of the recreation structure (bottom row), all of which you can see here:

One Community is facilitating global change progress through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

• • • Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

Iris Hsu (Industrial Designer), started researching the overhead lighting and shelving options you see here for the Duplicable City Center library. She also started drawing some layout options and possible furniture additions. These furniture, lighting and shelving options will go with the pipe couch and table/chair Iris already created.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global change progress through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

We also made final edits and began a multi-hour reorganization of the icons designed by Graphic Designer, Ivan Manzurov. The finished icons are here and we’d say we are about 20% done with this graphics task.
