Sustainable Eco-Community Replication – One Community Weekly Progress Update #130

Posted on September 20, 2015 by One Community

SUSTAINABLE ECO-COMMUNITY REPLICATION HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION @1:56

Global sustainable eco-community replication will happen the moment it is demonstrated as easy enough, affordable enough, and attractive enough to gain mainstream support. Open source solutions combining sustainable models for food, energy, and housing that allow for new models of fulfilled living, education, sustainable economics and earth stewardship could be the key. Putting these together as self-replicating teacher/demonstration hubs is what One Community calls 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
OUR MAIN OPEN SOURCE HUBS

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.

BUILDING THE FIRST OF MANY

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.

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.

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.

To meet the increasing demand for sustainability that we are contributing to, we are coordinating with manufacturers, education institutions, individuals, and vendors. This is also part of this model to help the world. Its purpose is to facilitate more engagement of the sustainability industry, produce the absolute best possible consumer value, and the most convenient delivery of goods and methodologies for building sustainable living communities and sustainable living components.

This means we not only provide education and increase needed sustainability resources, we also address the underlying roadblocks to a sustainable planet by decreasing the cost and simultaneously increasing the demand and generating financial support for global sustainability, philanthropy, and humanitarian movements and organizations.

As demand increases, so too will the ways to participate. Right now people are participating as consultants or partners donating time to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and others are more involved as Pioneers of the core team that will be moving to the property. We also have options for people to just follow our progress or participate through internet contribution.

Once the supportive physical infrastructure is about 30% developed, One Community will be ready to additionally expand what we offer to include scholarships, free weekend learning groups, core team members choosing to travel abroad to help others get established too, handling the marketing for all similar models operating for The Highest Good of All, and hosting classes and other sponsored events to promote and demonstrate additional methodologies.

We also imagine the high likelihood that our organization will become a foundation for sustainable eco-community replication that can be trusted as the donation point for distribution of monies to help others to establish this model also.

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.

Creating a More Sustainable Lifestyle – One Community Weekly Progress Update #129

Posted on September 13, 2015 by One Community

CREATING A MORE SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION @1:53

Creating a more sustainable lifestyle is something most people feel would be beneficial both individually and for the planet. Interestingly enough, most people think of a “sustainable lifestyle” as primarily sustainable food, energy, and housing. We feel adding fulfilled living, Education, sustainable economics and earth stewardship is helpful also, and we’re open sourcing solutions for all 6 of these areas to make implementation easier. Globally collaborating and open sourcing these areas is what we call living and creating for The Highest Good of All:

- Here’s our project overview
- Here’s our world-change methodology

REPLICABLE SOLUTIONS FOR SOCIETY HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION @1:57

A world of people living and creating for The Highest Good of All is possible if replicable solutions for society can be created that sustainably meets people’s needs. From this place of abundance and “having enough,” people will have the comfort and resources to help others. One Community is forwarding this movement through open source and free-shared tools, tutorials, and DIY resources addressing all aspects of sustainable and Highest Good living:

One Community Thanks Maurilio Souza For Being a Part of the Engineering Team

Posted on September 6, 2015 by One Community

One Community is happy to feature and thank Maurilio Souza as our most recent member of the Engineering Team. Maurilio spent the last two months working on structural calculations and AutoCAD details for the Duplicable City Center.

4th-year Civil Engineering Student: Maurilio is a Brazilian Civil Engineering student with internship experiences in two Brazilian companies. One of them is a construction company in which he worked for six months on the construction of a 30-floor residential building. The other one is an office of design and consultancy of concrete structures, where he acquired good computer skills through over a year of experience. He also has worked on two research projects on “Optimization of Trusses” with one of his professors in Brazil. In those projects he developed computer programs that allow the user to obtain the optimum combination of sections, among available sections, for the bars of the trusses. In this context, optimum combination means the one that comes up with the lightest (and cheapest) possible stable structure. The research he did about saving materials made him more interested in sustainability. Furthermore, as a future Civil Engineer, he is pleased to know that he can help build a sustainable world, throughout saving commonly used materials or even selecting a new one that could bring lower impact to the environment. As a member of the One Community team, Maurilio’s focus was on structural calculations and AutoCAD details for the Duplicable City Center.

THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THE TEAM,
MAURILIO!
