Blueprint for a World That Works for Everyone – One Community Weekly Progress Update #362

Let’s create a blueprint for a world that works for everyone. Let’s make it open source and free-shared, have it include sustainable approaches for food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, and global stewardship practices, and let’s demonstrate it as easy enough, affordable enough, and attractive enough to spread on it’s own. Doing this, we can create a sustainable world within our lifetime.

• 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

BLUEPRINT FOR A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE – WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together, creating a blueprint for a world that works for everyone. 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. A place based on compassion, kindness, and collaboration. This replicable community will serve as an example of how we can we can create a blueprint for a world that works for everyone and showcase 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, supporting the creation of a blueprint for a world that works for everyone. 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, supporting the blueprint for a world that works for everyone. 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 – BLUEPRINT FOR A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE

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 that supports creating a blueprint for a world that works for everyone. 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 contribute to creating a blueprint for a world that works for everyone, positively affecting 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.

COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO HUMANITY’S NEEDS – BLUEPRINT FOR A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE

One Community is open source sharing an evolution of sustainable living that addresses the complete human experience, thus creating a blueprint for a word that works for everyone. 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.

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

BLUEPRINT FOR A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE – HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating a blueprint for a world that works for everyone 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 week the core team continued with what we hope will be the 2nd-to-final review of the Murphy bed instructions. This week’s focus was updating the Blue electrical circuit lines to match the dome structure and generating new render images for that circuit, updating dimensions for parts W28, W31, W22, W13, W32, W27, W30, and W24 and placing an access opening from the bed side to the outlets, identifying images with dimensions for bolts placements in the floor to mount the wall on, and researching and providing links for the hinges and magnets. You can see some of this work in progress below.

Ziqian Zheng (Architectural Designer and Drafter), also continued working on the Earthbag Village and completed week 16 as a volunteer designer with our team. This week’s focus was continuing work on the Earthbag Village walkthrough. You can see some of the initial screenshots of this work here.

BLUEPRINT FOR A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE – DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating a blueprint for a world that works for everyone 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 week Radhieka Nagpal (Volunteer Researcher) completed her 3rd week researching the Most Sustainable Building Materials: Carpet, Flooring, Wood, Etc. This week Radhieka cross checked claims by companies, on products, restructured text, and began a new section on the types of sustainable flooring. She also established a benchmarking system using color coding for the companies researched so far and ranked 5 of them. You can see some of this work-in-progress below.

And Anvita Kumari Pandey (Civil Engineer) continued research for all the City Center lighting. This week she researched all the lights shown on the left below. Next she’ll add pictures and convert them to match the formatting on the right below. With this, we’d say we are now about 87% complete with the lighting selection details.

BLUEPRINT FOR A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE – HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating a blueprint for a world that works for everyone 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

BLUEPRINT FOR A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE – HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is creating a blueprint for a world that works for everyone 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. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished.

With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

• Program Overview: Education Open Source Hub
• How the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
  
• Lesson Plans for Life – Lesson Plans How-to
• Foundations of Outstanding Leaders, Teachers, and Communicators
• Curriculum for Life
• Teaching Strategies for Life
• Learning Tools and Toys for Life
• Evaluation and Evolution

Dan also began work on the Ultimate Classroom yellow room. This room focuses on the subject of Math and the character traits of peaceful leadership, sharing, self esteem, respect for others, self-control, self-discipline, calmness, and initiative. What you see here is Dan’s first round of object and people additions and we’d say the room is about 15% complete.

BLUEPRINT FOR A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE – HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is creating a blueprint for a world that works for everyone 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

This week Tengxiao Wang (Software Engineer) completed his 8th week working on the Highest Good Network software. This week Tengxiao completed several visual design sketches for the TimeEntry component using Sketch App. He implemented one of them with code using Reactstrap and CSS. He also resolved a critical issue regarding expired token handling. You can see some of this work below.

Siddharth Gore Â Senior Software Engineer I) completed his 7th week as a member of the volunteer team also working on the Highest Good Network software. This week Siddharth worked on the add a user to a project and remove user from a project functionality. He also worked on setting up jest and enzyme so that writing snapshot and events simulation tests could be written easily and produced an initial color test for the app. You can see some of this work here.

And last but not least, Simon Xiong (Programmer) completed his 4th week working on the Highest Good Network software. This week Simon attempted to get a better understanding of why current test cases for Login functionality were failing. The first approach was to download and reference Create React App. Unfortunately running the test command for Create React App resulted in some errors. It was not worth looking further into because it did not relate to the errors in the HGN app.

After researching and reading several articles on testing components connected to a Redux store, it was suggested that the redux-mock-store strategy was a viable option. This methodology however complicates the testing process, in turn making it an integration test. To stay in alignment with unit testing, it was suggested that we disconnect the component from the store to test individually. Screenshots of notes related to all of this are below.

SUMMARY – BLUEPRINT FOR A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE

One Community sees the issues of the world as interdependent and interconnected. To address them simultaneously, and support the process of creating a blueprint for a world that works for everyone, 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.
