ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is teaching people how to create global sustainable progress 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 first 25% of the written content for the Community Lesson Plan to the website, as you see here. This lesson plan is purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment, using the central theme of “Community.”

Behind the scenes, we wrote an additional 25% of the Community Lesson Plan, bringing the behind-the-scenes written part of that lesson plan to approximately 85% complete.

We also completed the first 25% of the mindmap for the Winter Lesson Plan and added the icons to the web page, which you can see here:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is teaching people how to create global sustainable progress 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 completed another round organizing the streamlined version of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page, which includes contributions provided by Naturopathic Doctor Matt Marturano (creator of the COHERENT model for comprehensive digestive health). This week we further organized the recipes behind the scenes, creating a page for bonus recipes. The Organization is now approximately 85% complete:

We also added three additional recipes from Sandra Sellani (Vegan Chef and author of What’s Your BQ?) to the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan ” These recipes are: Chopped Winter Fruit Salad, Swiss Chard Pizza with Toasted Pine Nuts, and Lentil Couscous Salad with Orange Essence:

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is teaching people how to create global sustainable progress 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 finishing the stem wall details and slider parts and tools that supports How to Create Global Sustainable Progress. The slider design will make building these domes cheaper, safer, and easier. You can see an example of this new work here and we’d say we are about 60% complete with the total update of this section.

Behind the scenes, we also added an additional 10% of edits and content to the Tree House Village (Pod 7) presentation begun by the Intern Team over the summer that supports How to Create Global Sustainable Progress. You can see an example of this work here. The updates to the presentation are now approximately 75% finished and the presentation will be released on our website when the revision process is 100% complete.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is teaching people how to create global sustainable progress 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 began the process of learning how to do our own renders for the Duplicable City Center. You can see our first render here showing one of the guest rooms:

We also started double checking the construction details for the pallet bed. Here you can see a breakdown of the construction components:

These details were checked against the excellent work you see here from Bupesh Seethala, Interior Designer that supports How to Create Global Sustainable Progress. Bupesh has built the complete furniture in AutoCAD as seen here, checking the details originally designed by the summer Intern Team against the recreation and updates by our core team, and then adding in additional construction details as necessary.

Iris Hsu (Industrial Designer), continued with these additional Pipe Couch designs for the Duplicable City Center library. The drawings you see here are her 5th generation drawings continuing development of the couch idea with a stationary back.

Behind the scenes Mike Hogan (Automation Systems Developer and Business Systems Consultant) and myself began exploring how the Control Systems can be built into the furniture of the City Center rooms. Here are 4 pictures of us using the 3-D model of the furniture and room to discuss how to create easy ways for users to interact with these systems thus supporting that supports How to Create Global Sustainable Progress.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is teaching people how to create global sustainable progress 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 our work on the Highest Good Network with Andrew Herman (Software Engineer and Core Member of Futurist Playground). Here is a snapshot of this work developing behind the scenes. What you see here is brainstorming and outlining for how multiple organizations will be able to use this software to track time, resources, and more in different ways that are useful for each other but specific to each organization.

Working with Oz Czerski, Lawyer Specializing in Trademark and Copyright Law, we also created this open source tutorial about patents. This new page teaches the history of patents and what is needed for anyone interested in keeping their inventions and ideas in the open source domain.

WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating a place to grow together and how to make a change in 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 on how to make a change in the world.

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 on how to make a change in the world. 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 and learn how to make a change in the world. 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 how to make a change in the world and 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.

As One Community continues evolving and establishing ourselves, everything we create and promote will serve as the engine on how to make a change in the world and 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.

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 learn how to make a change in the world and 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.
