Sustainably Addressing Humanity’s Foundations – One Community Weekly Progress Update #137

Sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations is essential if a sustainable world is to be created. To do this, a holistic solution-set needs to be created that will combine physical sustainability (food, energy, and housing) and emotional sustainability (fulfilled living, education, sustainable economics and earth stewardship) to provide a better way of life that people can replicate and share. We call this living and creating for The Highest Good of All:

• 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

WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together, while sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations. We are creating a space that helps each other live in integrity with each other and the planet as we strive to be the greatest versions of ourselves. We do this by harmoniously respecting each other, nature, and the rest of our one shared planet.

Our goal is to demonstrate what we feel is the most sustainable, healthy, and fun environment we can create. A place based on compassion, kindness, and collaboration. This replicable community will serve as an example for what is possible.

Throughout our design process we are open sourcing and free-sharing everything needed for construction and replication. This includes what we call “Highest Good” approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economics design, social architecture, fulfilled living, stewardship practices and more. We are creating these resources for implementation as individual components or complete developments called teacher/demonstration hubs. These hubs will help launch additional hubs as awareness and knowledge grow.

BUILDING THE FIRST OF MANY

Sustainably Addressing Humanity’s Foundations, One Community will be the first teacher/demonstration hub. It will function as an experiential-learning model that facilitates mass participation to address humanity’s most pressing challenges through: A replicable model for expansion, building seven self-sufficient village/city prototypes, becoming the world leader in open-source sustainability solutions, and evolving and expanding ALL aspects of sustainable living.

COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO HUMANITY’S NEEDS

One Community is open source sharing an evolution of sustainable living that supports sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations. We are doing this because we see the solutions for global food, housing, energy, education, social inequality, ethical business practices, earth regenerative practices, and a desire for a more fulfilling living experience as inseparably interconnected. As a comprehensive solution, we are addressing all these areas simultaneously and open source free-sharing everything needed for individual duplication and/or duplication as complete self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world.

As we address and open source share these areas we will support sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations and establish a living example of the first teacher/demonstration village purposed to teach others. To maximally facilitate duplication, One Community will provide seven duplicable examples and function indefinitely as a place people can visit and a non-profit and open source think tank continuing to further evolve and share solutions in all of the above areas and more. We will also provide hands-on experience and training. Most importantly, growing upon our sustainable foundation, we will endlessly make this comprehensive solution even more widely known and globally accessible, understandable and diversely duplicable, and inspiring and desirable as a model worth duplicating.

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

SUSTAINABLY ADDRESSING HUMANITY’S FOUNDATIONS – HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations 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 first 50% of the written content for the Energy 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 “Energy” is now 50% complete on our website.

We additionally completed and added the final 50% of the mindmap for the Emotional States Lesson Plan to the webpage. You can see that mindmap here:

Behind the scenes, we also wrote the first 1/3 of the Sustainability Lesson Plan, bringing the behind-the-scenes written part for that to about 35% complete:

SUSTAINABLY ADDRESSING HUMANITY’S FOUNDATIONS – HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations 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 an additional 10% on the organizing and editing of a more streamlined version of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page and added some of the calculations that Dr. Matt Marturano provided on how much food we will need. We are now approximately 20% complete with the behind-the-scenes remodeling of that page.

We also added three additional recipes from Sandra Sellani (Vegan Chef and author of What’s Your BQ?) to the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan ” These recipes are: Pear Crumble, Pasta Marinara, and Panzanella:

SUSTAINABLY ADDRESSING HUMANITY’S FOUNDATIONS – HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations 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 continued working on the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This week included the new french drain drawings and revisions you see here, working out new specifics for the corbeling as you see here, and more insulation research, changes to the flashing, and other smaller details. We’d say this brings us to 48% complete with this total rewrite and update.

We also continued posting and formatting the website content for the dome home window and door framing tutorial for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. What you see here is another 20% of this tutorial update bringing us to 75% done with this new page creation.

Additionally, we added lofts into the latest revision of the 3-dome cluster design for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. You can see those here:

And last but not least, we began updating the Cob Village page with the work of the summer Intern Team. The work we did included a new header, updated purpose of this village, and other details.

SUSTAINABLY ADDRESSING HUMANITY’S FOUNDATIONS – DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations 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 its function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team continued updating the Sketchup 3-D for the Duplicable City Center. This week we focused on the shelving specifics you see here for the food serving areas, and we’d say we are now 70% done with the complete 3-D update.

Iris Hsu (Industrial Designer), continued developing and evolving the Pipe Furniture designs. What you see here are the 7th generation concept designs for the chairs for the Duplicable City Center library. These chairs will be able to be converted into tables and are designed to be built out of PVC or recycled plumbing piping for the framing and recycled wood for the seat and back.

Behind the scenes Mike Hogan (Automation Systems Developer and Business Systems Consultant) and Lucas Tsutsui da Silva (4th-year Computer Engineering Student), continued work on the Control Systems design. What you see here is Mike’s touchscreen software development using his Tank Farm as a testbed for the Universal Windows development application running on the open source Windows Core.

These pictures are from our GoogleHangout where Mike is drawing details to help Lucas with the specifics of the control board design you see in the background:

SUSTAINABLY ADDRESSING HUMANITY’S FOUNDATIONS – HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations 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:

• • • Read the Highest Good society overview: Highest Good Society
    • Learn about the model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
    • Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
    • Learn about our open source community collaboration and management software: The Highest Good Network

OPEN SOURCE SHARING STRATEGY SPECIFICS – SUSTAINABLY ADDRESSING HUMANITY’S FOUNDATIONS

One Community’s open source strategy will evolve 5 primary types of open source content purposed to reach and service as broad an audience as possible. This includes the following mediums of sharing that are being developed to function as standalone resources or in combination with each other:

• Video tutorials
• Audio tutorials
• Live streaming video
• Direct/live interaction
• Written content and downloadable PDFs

Maximum exposure is accomplished through simultaneous implementation of the following strategies:

• Free-shared audio, visual, and PDF downloads
• Scholarship and intern programs for direct learning
• Videoing or live-streaming almost all classes and activities
• Tourism option for involvement in almost all aspects of One Community
• Dedicated and search engine optimized sections of our website for each key area
• Our established infrastructure that simultaneously posts to over 20 social networks

WHY OPEN SOURCE

We are creating everything One Community does as open source and free-shared blueprints because we see this as the path to a new Golden Age of creativity, innovation, cooperation, and collaboration for all of humanity. Our model is a solution model that creates additional solution creating models enabling people to live and collaborate globally for The Highest Good of All. The easier we make everything we do, the faster we see the world sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations.

Every aspect of this model supports itself and contributes to its success, from the sustainable food, energy, and homes, to the social architecture, One Community Education Program, and open source sharing model itself. Each piece can be accessed, evolved, and even re-birthed as something completely new. It can be duplicated by itself or with other modules, with applications as diverse as the people who want and need them. The constantly expanding total model will additionally be able to be used in its entirety as the open source project-launch blueprint for a variety of duplicate teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities capable of being built virtually anywhere.

The most profound part is: the more we open source share, the more we help move everyone forward, the more people know about what we are doing and can participate, and the more successful and capable we are of project-launch blueprinting and sharing even more still. This is all supported and made possible because:

• We have the team to produce an extensive quality and diversity of tools and resources
• It gives us the opportunity to broaden the concept of sustainability and make it more desirable
• Areas we open source expand our ability to evolve even faster through global collaboration
• Each new area open sourced expands our target audience, advancing our world changing goals
• The more we show our ability to share what we are creating, the more others will benefit and want to join this movement and mimic the part we are playing in it

SUMMARY – SUSTAINABLY ADDRESSING HUMANITY’S FOUNDATIONS

One Community sees the issues of the world as interdependent and interconnected. To address them simultaneously, we are open-source blueprinting a more advanced standard of living by designing holistic, environmentally-regenerative, self-sustaining, adaptable solutions for all areas of sustainability. We will model these within a comprehensive “village/city” which will be built in the southwestern U.S. This teacher/demonstration hub will be a place people can experience a new way of living and then replicate it with our open source blueprints: creating a model solution that creates additional solution-creating models.
