ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

A MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPLETE SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH – HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is creating a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach 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 finished the final 50% of the lesson plan mindmap with the central theme of “Opposites” for a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach. You can see it below. This finishes the final necessary piece of the “Opposites” lesson plan webpage also. This lesson plan is purposed for use by anyone, in any educational environment, working with any age or educational level, to teach any and all subjects within and using this central theme of “Opposites.”

We also finished the first 50% of the lesson plan webpage with the central them of “Highest Good” for a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach. You can see this here as an example of what all of the 9 completely finished lesson plans look like.

Behind the scenes we’ve also begun researching the greatest minds in history for the subject of Technology and Innovation Molecule.

A MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPLETE SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH – HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach 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 finished three more complete breakout pages from the large-scale gardening page to create a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach. These included the Ulluco page, the Sweet Potato Page, and the Wax Gourd Page. You can see all three pages below where you can click on the images to visit the complete pages with detailed plant descriptions, planting guidelines, cultural considerations, and more. These new pages load faster and also give us the space we’ll need to add recipes, gardening tips, harvesting and canning tips, and videos. Contact us if you have any great resources related to any of these plant species.

A MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPLETE SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH – HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach 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 further refined the calculations for heat retention in the central Tropical Atrium recreation space that will house the Earthbag Village water storage and recycle the village used shower-water heat using a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach. We also moved the location of the water storage tank as you can see in the two images here.

We additionally finished creating all the custom icons for the dome home crowdfunding campaign open source details pages for a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach. You can see all this work here:

We are also down to the last 20-30% of the organizational process for the custom murphy bed furniture for a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach. Here you can see this immense and complex task continuing as we sort the final pieces into groups. This has also required a few design changes and updates behind the scenes to the source documents that will require us to also update the images on the site.

Dave Walen (Architectural Drafter & Designer and owner of Dave Philip Walen Design) also made significant progress on the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2) plumbing details and garden layout updates. You can see those here with new specifics added to the ponds and individual unit layouts also.

A MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPLETE SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH – DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach 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

This last week the core team completed addition of the Processing section of the Control Systems page for a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach. You can see these new additions here, bringing us to about 70% completion for this page. This page will be a constantly developing resource for creating a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach through open source monitoring systems setup, maintenance, evolution, and data gathering and sharing starting with the Duplicable City Center and the Earthbag Village (Pod 1), and expanding as One Community expands.

A MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPLETE SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH – HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is creating a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach 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

WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together. 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

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.

 

WHY ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING THIS

The One Community self-replicating model is capable of creating a sustainable planet within 30 years. We will achieve this by establishing successful teacher/demonstration hubs on every continent. Villages include designs appropriate for each of the five main types of climates. They also include options for even the most challenged economies. These hubs will collaborate with one another, share ideas, resources, and work together as a network to heal the planet. They will also transform the global lifestyle to a more enjoyable, fulfilling, healthy, and sustainable one.

The specifics of how One Community is accomplishing this can be found on the One Community Solution Model to Create Solution-creating Models Page. Research supporting and showing the benefits of a model like this can be found on our Research and Resources Articles Archive.

Even if we don’t achieve our ultimate goal of global transformation, a self-replicating teacher/demonstration model like this will take a relatively short period of time to positively affect millions while inspiring millions more.  For One Community residents (the Pioneer Team), the idea of creating and sharing the social and recreational experience with visitors is also fun, exciting, fulfilling, and an additional reason why we are creating this.

 

INSPIRING SUSTAINABILITY WITH OPEN SOURCE

One Community’s four-phase strategy for the creation of solution models that create solution creating models uses open source blueprints for duplication that simultaneously address all aspects of the human experience (food, energy, housing, education, social inequality and injustice, fulfilled living, etc.). We see these areas as interdependent and requiring a comprehensive solution if humanity is to move ecologically, socially, economically, and permanently towards a truly sustainable future for everyone.

Our open source model and blueprints engage and inspire people while simultaneously making sustainable living more affordable and easy to replicate. By free-sharing the step-by-step plans people need for duplication, inviting people to participate, and demonstrating sustainable teacher/demonstration hubs as a more desirable way of living, the model will predictably expand on its own.

It is this approach we see uniting the world and leading to a new Golden Age for humanity. While we understand that not everyone believes this is even possible, we are nonetheless bringing together all those that do see this as possible as the non-profit think tank of forward-thinking individuals willing to design, build, and open source project-launch blueprint and free-share it for The Highest Good of All.

 

COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO HUMANITY’S NEEDS

One Community is open source sharing an evolution of sustainable living that addresses the complete human experience. 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 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.
