Global Sustainable Change – One Community Weekly Progress Update #155

Global sustainable change will happen once it is demonstrated as easy enough, affordable, and attractive enough. Open source and free-sharing complete sustainable villages that include food, energy, housing, education, economics, and a more fulfilled and enriching way of living is one way to facilitate this. We call this living and creating for The Highest Good of All:

• 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

GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE CHANGE HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding global sustainable change 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 transferred the second 25% of the written content for the Cooperation and Collaboration Lesson Plan to the website, as you see here. This lesson plan purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment, using the central theme of “Cooperation and Collaboration” is now 50% completed on our website.

Behind the scenes, we wrote the third 25% of the written part of the Cooperation and Collaboration Lesson Plan, bringing it to 75% complete.

We also completed the second 25% of the mindmap for the Work Lesson Plan, bringing it to 50% complete, which you see here:

GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE CHANGE HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding global sustainable change 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 updated and further developed the work of Ana Flavia Almeida (Architecture and Urban Planning Student) into these renders for the Transitory Kitchen purposed to feed 50 people in remote locations during sustainable village construction.

GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE CHANGE HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding global sustainable change 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 put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week’s focus was review of the FFF CAD drawings and changing the original horizontal insulation to vertical insulation against the earthbag walls in Section 11. We’d say we are now 72% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes:

Working on the Tree House Village (Pod 7), Jesika Rohrbach (Architectural Drafter, Designer, and 3-D Modeler) also began designing the details of the playroom structure with a screen enclosure added for child safety, and the kitchen structure with wrap around seating, both of which are shown here:

Dean Scholz, Architectural Designer, further developed what’s necessary for us to create quality Cob Village (Pod 3) renders. Here is update 10 of this work that focused on more shade structure designs, textures, and additional aesthetic details.

Brianna Johnson (Interior Designer), also continued evolving the renders for the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2). What you see here is the 2nd render of the central recreation space now with new railings, stairs, and kids’ playroom details you can see in the background.

GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE CHANGE DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding global sustainable change 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 the core team continued working on the renders for the Duplicable City Center. What you see here is a Dining Dome render where we worked on textures, ceiling lighting, and table lights in the kitchen/dining area:

Bupesh Seethala (Interior Designer) finished updating the Natural Pool details. Here is the updated design incorporating a kids walk-in wading area with a safety wall and adjacent seating for parents in the 4′ deep section.

Iris Hsu (Industrial Designer), continued finalizing the Pipe Couch designs for the Duplicable City Center library working on the renders you see here for the couch assembly instructions.

Iris also returned to the table/chair design and made additional updates there, enlarging the main frame to increase the legroom.

Brianna Johnson (Interior Designer), also started working on the pipe shelving for the library. What you see here are a couple lights we chose based on her research and design layout 1 integrating these lights.

Behind the scenes Mike Hogan (Automation Systems Developer and Business Systems Consultant) and Lucas Tsutsui da Silva (4th-year Computer Engineering Student) continued development of the Control Systems main panel. What you see here is a combination of a capacitive touch panel Mike purchased for testing, a layout drawing for how it might work, and a faceplate he 3-D printed to further test the layout drawing. For a great video on how capacitive touch sensors work, visit this week’s written blog.

Here’s a great video talking about how a capacitive sensor works:

GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE CHANGE HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding global sustainable change 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 continued working on a complete update of the One Community Business plan. What you see here is a spreadsheet designed to provide cost analysis data for the eco-tourism aspect of One Community. We’d say we are about 35% done with the complete rewrite and update:

Jacky Tustain (Project Manager) also continued helping us convert the LEED Certification research done by Matheus Manfredini (Civil Engineering Student and Urban Design Coordinator) into a webpage. Here are the 6th round of pictures of this LEED Tutorial page developing on the site, continuing with formatting and content editing. We’d say we’re about 70% complete with this tutorial.

Oz Czerski, Lawyer Specializing in Trademark and Copyright Law, also helped us draw up these first drafts of our trademark infringement letters and then went through the process of editing them with our team. The pink writing are the edited parts and we’ll be open sourcing the final version of these letters on our legal documents page next week.

ONE COMMUNITY’S 4-PHASE STRATEGY

One Community is building solution-creating models designed to create additional solution-creating models to specifically facilitate exponential and sustainable global teacher/demonstration village growth. The following four phases of the strategy we are applying are designed to support each other, create global sustainable change and accelerate the process globally:

Phase I: Demonstrating a Better Way

We are designing One Community to demonstrate an experience of living that we believe most people will consider to be better because it will be more enjoyable and fulfilling. We also think most people will consider it better because it is made possible specifically through a foundation of sustainable sustainability and a philosophy that is for The Highest Good of All.

Phase II: Open Source Project-Launch Blueprinting

Everything we do we are open source project-launch blueprinting and free-sharing to make it as easy and affordable as possible to duplicate, adapt, and evolve in the manner that suits each individual and/or group’s needs. Free-sharing information like this is our aggressive-exposure engine and an aspect of One Community that will accelerate indefinitely as we continue to build our team, move onto the property, and continuously build and evolve everything that is One Community.

Phase III: Inviting the World to Participate

Everything we are open source project-launch blueprinting is designed to invite the world to participate by duplicating it as either individual components or complete teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities that will be able to be built almost anywhere in the world. Additionally, people can join One Community as members, consultants and/or partners, or use the suggestions links on our open source project-launch blueprinting hubs to help with the design, implementation, and evolution process. Scholarships, weekend learning and work crews, and tourism will be foundations of One Community once we have sufficient infrastructure in place to support these options.

Phase IV: Universal Appeal and Global Expansion

As One Community continues evolving and establishing ourselves, everything we create and promote will serve as the engine to inspire people to align with the concept of open source and sustainable living for The Highest Good of All. We are doing this to create mainstream appeal and our path to achieving this appeal is demonstrating a happier, more affordable, and ecologically friendly model of living that can be built anywhere in the world.

Open source project-launch blueprinting it all is how we believe the model will spread and, possibly most importantly, that it will predictably spread even faster in the areas where it is needed most because building restrictions, the cost of land, and materials costs are in most cases lower in these areas.

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 to create global sustainable change.

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, create global sustainable change 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
