ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

CREATING A BETTER WORLD FOR US ALL – HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is creating a better world for us all 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 second 25% of the lesson plan mindmap with the central theme of “Opposites.” You can see it below and visit the “Opposites” lesson plan webpage where the written part of the lesson plan is already done and ready 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” for creating a better world for us all.

Behind the scenes we also finished 70% of the lesson plan outline with the central theme of “Highest Good” and another 50% of the image research for the lesson plan with the central theme of “Recreation and Relaxation” – bringing us to 70% complete there. Also behind the scenes, we finished the first 30% of image research with the lesson plan with the central theme of “Creativity.”

CREATING A BETTER WORLD FOR US ALL – HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating a better world for us all 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 that helps in creating a better world for us all. These included the Turnips page, the Oca page, and the Mashua page. You can see all three pages below and you can click them to visit the individual pages for all the specifics including 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 and help us in creating a better world for us all.

CREATING A BETTER WORLD FOR US ALL – HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating a better world for us all 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 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 creating a better world for us all. The images here are projected heat transfer calculations through the walls at different projected times of year and at different temperatures.

CREATING A BETTER WORLD FOR US ALL – DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating a better world for us all 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 inputs section of the Control Systems page that facilitates in creating a better world for us all. You can see these new additions below, bringing us to about 50% completion for this page. This page will be a constantly developing resource for 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 while creating a better world for us all.

CREATING A BETTER WORLD FOR US ALL – HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is creating a better world for us all 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 last week the core team added One Community to tsū! We are excited about this because we truly see this as a Highest Good step towards the future of social media. Tsū is a platform looking to replace Facebook by offering the same service while returning 90% of the ad revenue they generate to the users which further helps in creating a better world for us all.

If you follow us on our other social media platforms, you will see we’re promoting this new platform heavily as we see it as a huge improvement over existing platforms. We’re also excited about it because we’re signed up with tsū through Sustainable Human who is signed up through “Trust Me I’m an Eco-Designer,” so everything we do supports those great organizations and anyone who supports us is supporting them too in creating a better world for us all.

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.

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 transitioning.

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

OPEN SOURCE SHARING STRATEGY SPECIFICS

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

SUMMARY

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.
