Ecological Resource Allocation – One Community Weekly Progress Update #91

Ecological resource allocation can be expanded to include all aspects of the human experience. Doing this combines physical sustainability with emotional sustainability. A model that open source shares resources covering and combining both of these areas with a consciousness for The Highest Good of All has a potential to become self-replicating and transform the planet for everyone. This is what One Community is doing:

• 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

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating a global ecological resource allocation model 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 first 30% of the lesson plan mindmap with the central theme of  “Highest Good” for better ecological resource allocation. This work helps One Community’s mission of ecological resource allocation and reinforces our commitment to better living quality for all people:

And the second half of the webpage sharing the “Highest Good” lesson plan specifics:

Behind the scenes we finished the first 40% of the final content edits and revisions for the lesson plan with the central theme of “Movement and Development” for better ecological resource allocation. All of these lesson plans use the central them to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, and are applicable in any learning environment. This work helps One Community’s mission of ecological resource allocation and reinforces our commitment to better living quality for all people.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating a global ecological resource allocation model 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 three breakout pages from the large-scale gardening page for better ecological resource allocation. These included the Cassabanana page, the Bitter Melon page, and the Asparagus page. You can see all three pages below where you can click the images to visit the complete pages for all the 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.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating a global ecological resource allocation model 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 completed the Tropical Atrium heat retention calculations version 4.0, using yet another new software program. You can see this analysis here as we continue to asses this structures ability to recycle and hold heat from the Earthbag Village used shower-water heat:

We also added all the new custom icons to the upcoming crowdfunding campaign individual page, as you can see here:

We also built the initial foundations for all the associated web pages, including all these beautiful new headers. If you’d like to see what each of these pages is going to look like, you can visit the dome home electrical page by clicking the image below. Behind the scenes, we’ve also finished a massive update of this page and we are now waiting to post it after a review by a new electrician who just joined our Consultant’s team.

We also finished the organizational process for the custom murphy bed furniture. Here you can see that we’ve organized all the pieces into sections and identified exactly how many boards or sheets are needed to cut all the necessary parts. This is all built off of the work of Philip Gill (Interior and Furniture Designer and Owner of Philip Gill Design). Next we’ll be organizing all these details into a purchase order list so we can accurately calculate the cost. This work helps One Community’s mission of ecological resource allocation and reinforces our commitment to better living quality for all people.

 

 

Last but not least, Dave Walen (Architectural Drafter & Designer and owner of Dave Philip Walen Design) began putting the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2) updated details from last week into 3-D. Here are a few screenshots of this outstanding work.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating a global ecological resource allocation model 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 Outputs section of the Control Systems page is one component that really helps with better ecological resource allocation. You can see this new additions here, completing the foundations of this page that we will be a constantly developing tutorial and information resource for the monitoring, setup, maintenance, evolution, and data gathering systems of the Duplicable City Center and the Earthbag Village (Pod 1). Next we’ll add an FAQ, Summary, and Resources section.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating a global ecological resource allocation model 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 welcomed The Community Planet Foundation to our team on tsÃ…«! If you aren’t already a member, we invite you to check out Community Planet’s page first using the link you see here, then come and connect with our page also using this link.

We also featured and created new social media imagery for our Love Lesson plan page, Remote Internet Setup page, Highest Good food page, creating utopia page, and our open source non-profit open source guide page for better ecological resource allocation. This work helps One Community’s mission of ecological resource allocation and reinforces our commitment to better living quality for all people.

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. This work helps One Community’s mission of ecological resource allocation and reinforces our commitment to better living quality for all people.

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. This work helps One Community’s mission of ecological resource allocation and reinforces our commitment to better living quality for all people.

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. This work helps One Community’s mission of ecological resource allocation and reinforces our commitment to better living quality for all people.

 

GLOBALLY IMPLEMENTABLE REPLICATION MODEL

The more people that are inspired and desiring for themselves what it is that One Community creates, the more demand there will be for spreading the One Community model. This leads to the directing of financial resources and resourceful people where we believe they are needed most: the establishment of additional sustainable communities around the world. We also feel this duplication will specifically happen quickly internationally due to the affordability of overseas land, less restrictive building environments, and the spirit of adventure in many people who really desire to make a difference for those who need it most.
