ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

CREATING A GOAL-ORIENTED ECOLOGICAL RENAISSANCE: HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is creating a goal-oriented ecological renaissance 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 created the initial setup of the Technology and Innovation Molecule webpage, which you can see here. This is the beginning formatting for this subject page that will cover the greatest minds, inventions, and creations of all time plus learning strategies, test-taking strategies, technology implementation, systems theory and analysis, and more aimed at creating a Goal-Oriented Ecological Renaissance.

Behind the scenes we also finished the rest of the written design for the lesson plan we’re working on with the central theme of “Civilization.”

Paige Allison Donatelli (Graphic Designer and Owner Operator of Namaste Living in a Material World) additionally finished another 30% of the image creation for the Civilization lesson plan. This brings us to 50% complete there. When complete on the site, this lesson plan will teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment using the central Civilization theme:

In addition to all this, we featured the Time Lesson Plan this week using this beautiful creation from Paige:

CREATING A GOAL-ORIENTED ECOLOGICAL RENAISSANCE HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating a goal-oriented ecological renaissance 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 the final social media imagery and featured our open source beet hub:

And we did this for our food forest canopy plantings hub too:

We also researched and added the final major component to the open source cole crops hub: RECIPES! You can see these new additions here:

We also did this for the open source celery hub. These first recipe lists will grow as our food experts continue the process of designing the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan.

Speaking of food experts, Benjamin Sessions finished all the recipes and images for the first half of Week 4 of the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan. You can see these four new recipes here along with the one he completed last week. In support of diversity, all these recipes are omnivore recipes that can easily be made vegan too. The purpose of all of these: supply remote village creation menu details sufficient to meet needs until food self-sufficiency is achieved.

CREATING A GOAL-ORIENTED ECOLOGICAL RENAISSANCE: HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating a goal-oriented ecological renaissance 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 laying out the specifics for the Open Source Murphy bed furniture assembly details behind the scenes. These are part of the Earthbag Village and the crowdfunding campaign plan creating a Goal-Oriented Ecological Renaissance and new updates included cutting lumber and labeling pieces for two nightstands and assembling the nightstand frames. What you see here is all this behind-the-scenes work-in-progress. We estimate we are now 55% complete with what is needed for the website.

Also, behind the scenes, we finished the first 10% of the earthdome loft construction tutorial specifics.

In addition to this, Scott Thomas and his Shadow Ridge Signature Architecture Program team also finished the final CAD input details of the Earthbag Village shared-accommodation 3-dome cluster designs:

And the ADA version of this 3-dome cluster:

And the final window placement edits needed for the 6-dome clusters:

Dave Walen (Architectural Drafter & Designer and owner of Dave Philip Walen Design) finished a complete redesign of the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2) entryway that you can see here:

He also redesigned the central area so that it is built with straw bale walls like the rest of the village:

He’s also been working on the plumbing specifics:

CREATING A GOAL-ORIENTED ECOLOGICAL RENAISSANCE: DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating a goal-oriented ecological renaissance 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 another 50% of the thermostatic shower valve and heat lamp energy and water savings open source page. This brings us to 60% complete and shares the work of Ron Payne (Mechanical Engineer and HVAC / Thermal Designer). When finished it will be a complete and open source resource for our research and rationale for using this hardware for saving money and increasing safety in both the Duplicable City Center and the Earthbag Village.

CREATING A GOAL-ORIENTED ECOLOGICAL RENAISSANCE: HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is creating a goal-oriented ecological renaissance 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 finished 3 months of collaboration and structuring of what home ownership will look like at One Community. This includes the details of how residents on vacation will be able to earn rental revenue, what a “Home Share” will represent for those joining after we own the property, how “Home Shares” will be able to be used for earning revenue and more. Visit the Becoming a Community Member page for complete details.

Jin Hua (Internet Marketing Expert and Web Developer) also finished the video that goes with the overview you see below. What he’s created is an amazing tutorial for translating any page of our site into another language. The video is done and edited and we’ll be making a complete translation page to teach people how they can do this amazing work.

Creating a goal-oriented ecological renaissance
WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together by creating a Goal-Oriented Ecological Renaissance. 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 by creating a Goal-Oriented Ecological Renaissance. 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 by creating a Goal-Oriented Ecological Renaissance. 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 creating a Goal-Oriented Ecological Renaissance. 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.

WHY ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING THIS

The One Community self-replicating model is capable of creating a sustainable planet within 30 years by creating a Goal-Oriented Ecological Renaissance . 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 by creating a Goal-Oriented Ecological Renaissance. 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 creating a Goal-Oriented Ecological Renaissance. 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

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.
