One Community is here to help create a better quality of life for all people and life on this planet. This means simultaneously addressing and open source sharing solutions to hunger, homelessness, unsustainable energy practices, social injustice and inequality, education, and more while also providing a more fulfilled living experience and diverse sustainability elements. We call this living and creating for The Highest Good of All:

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together, along with a goal to be creating a better quality of life for all. 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, serving as an example for what is possible in terms of creating a better quality of life for all. 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, furthering the cause of creating a better quality of life for all
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: Creating a better quality of life for all, 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
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, thus creating a better quality of life for all. 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, further reinforcing the importance of creating a better quality of life for all.
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, thus fostering a sense of community and commitment to creating a better quality of life for all.
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, ultimately contributing to creating a better quality of life for all.
Our open source model and blueprints engage and inspire people while simultaneously making sustainable living more affordable and easy to replicate, further promoting creating a better quality of life for all. 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 at the same time contributing to creating a better quality of life for all.
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 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, ultimately contributing to creating a better quality of life for 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, thereby creating a better quality of life for all. 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, further creating a better quality of life for 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.
Practical utopia creation means evolving sustainability to comprehensively address the foundations of the complete human experience with ecological and duplicable solutions for improving all areas, and open source sharing this 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.
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, ultimately contributing to practical utopia creation. The easier we make everything we do, the faster we see the world transitioning.
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 and made possible because:
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 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.
One Community is creating world game-changing solutions through a comprehensive and holistic approach to sustainable, proactive, and regenerative living for The Highest Good of All:

One Community is sustainable paradigm building 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:
This last week the core team finished the addition of a Technology and Innovation lesson plan section for each of our three finished lesson plan mindmaps, here’s an example of what the completed Time Page now looks like and we’ve got the same level of detail for both a Matter and Materials lesson plan and a Relative and Dimensional Space lesson plan:
One Community is sustainable paradigm building 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:
This last week the core team finished adding the diversity details to the organic alliums section with 34 total alliums and 8 featured:
We also added the diversity details to the lettuce sections 18 lettuces and specific details for the 9 that you can see featured here:
We also finished another 15% of our large-scale soil amendment strategy webpage, adding all of the planting specifics and bringing us to 90% completion of this open source guide for soil reparation in areas needing it:
One Community is sustainable paradigm building 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:
This last week the core team visited the site and took these pictures of where we will be building the 3-dome cluster as part of our crowdfunding campaign to open source share complete home plans, furniture plans, building tutorials, and more for earthbag construction. Here are pictures of the site from a distance:
Here are pictures of the site up-close:
We also completed research of all existing on-line free-shared plans showing there is definitely a need for what we will be adding to the industry and global open source archive. What’s available is extremely limited. Here is a sample of all we could find:
Our open source water heating and cooling webpage is now complete. We share why we’ll be going with a combination of a solar-run heat pump and a solar collector.
And, thanks to public feedback, we added thermal loss specifics and global ground temperature averages to the dome-home heating and cooling page. Here are the thermal loss specifics:
Philip Gill (Interior and Furniture Designer and Owner of Philip Gill Design) continues to develop the 2nd furniture layout for the Earthbag Village homes. This last week he added textures and started detailing the specific furniture pieces.
One Community is sustainable paradigm building 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:
This last week the core team added Da Ku‘s (Mechanical Engineer) completed natural pool indoor/outdoor transition point videos, materials list, thermal calculations and downloadable CAD file to the open source natural pool page:
Jennifer Engelmeier of www.LoveYourNaturalPool.com, working in conjunction with our partner Rick Ruggles of Hayward Pool Products and Rob Gjerde of Sorico Design and Consulting helped us to update all our hardware links on the website and continued evolving the master materials list you see here:
Also, Karl Harris (Architect Drafter, Designer, and founder of Harris Design & Technology Services) redesigned our resident bathroom in the Kitchen dome to be ADA compliant:
And completed about 50% of the West elevations CAD drawings you can see here:

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together, along with a goal to be creating a sustainable paradigm building. 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, serving as an example for what is possible in terms of creating a sustainable paradigm building. 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, furthering the cause of creating a sustainable paradigm building.
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: Creating a Sustainable Paradigm building, 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.
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, thus creating a sustainable paradigm building. 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, further reinforcing the importance of creating a sustainable paradigm building.
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, thus fostering a sense of community and commitment to creating a sustainable paradigm building.
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 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, ultimately contributing to creating a sustainable paradigm building.
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, thereby creating a sustainable paradigm building. 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, further creating a sustainable paradigm building. 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.
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, ultimately contributing to creating a sustainable paradigm building. 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.
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, thereby contributing to creating a sustainable paradigm building.
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, ultimately leading to creating a sustainable paradigm building. This is all supported 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
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 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.
One Community is happy to welcome Hajjar Gibran to the Design Team:
Hajjar Gibran – Innovative Designer, Builder, Author and Spiritual Guide: Hajjar abandoned his career in engineering after the tragic death of his brother compelled him to follow his spiritual calling. After decades of inner exploration and personal transformation he created the Gibran Method for Spiritual Empowerment. In 2009, Simon and Schuster and a dozen other foreign publishers published his book The Return of The Prophet, the award winning sequel to The Prophet by his great uncle Kahlil Gibran. Hajjar then created The Gibran Center, a community health retreat in one of the poorest regions of rural Thailand. Adjacent to the center he started a volunteer run school to offer a better life to the local children who otherwise get caught in the sex industry. While creating The Gibran Center, Hajjar developed an efficient, low-cost, ecological way of building beautiful domes. A video and articles of a dome home he built with his brother-in-law have gone viral on the internet creating a global demand. In 2014 he created Global Dome Homes with a vision to support One Community and other sustainable development projects, as well as provide low cost housing for people in need the world over.
Here is an example of Hajjar’s work:

One Community is solutioneering our future including 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:
This last week the core team finished adding the diversity details to the organic eggplant section of the large-scale gardening page featuring 8 different varieties of eggplant from around the world plus 1 more. The page now offers over 130 finished plants with cultural considerations, planting guidelines, complete sourcing details and more. Here is a snapshot of the eggplant details that are new:
We also finished another 25% of our large-scale soil amendment strategy webpage, bringing us to 75% completion of that open source guide for soil reparation in areas needing it:
One Community is solutioneering our future including Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:
This last week the core team finished the initial outline of our open source water heating and cooling webpage sharing the details of our research into this crucial city creation element. This image is an overview of what we learned and the page we are finishing will share complete details of why a combination of a solar collector combined with the cost of a heat pump will more than pay for themselves in a fairly short time through electricity savings:
We also spoke with the county for the property where we’ll be building the 3-dome cluster for the crowdfunding campaign we are creating and began our detailed labor calculations for this build. Here is a snapshot of this work in progress that we will share in detail once we all agree it is complete:
Lastly, we’re getting closer and closer to finalizing the internet strategy that will be necessary to share everything we are creating. Connection options.
Listed from best to worst, the internet options for any location are:
This simple list is the result of hours of research determining that the details of the first two options are really what an organization open source and free-sharing as much as we are will need. Here are the specifics of the two options:
The first option is 10-40x better and the option we are now seeking to confirm if a realistic implementation option exists for our remote location. Stay tuned as our research continues.
One Community is solutioneering our future including 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:
This last week week Da Ku (Mechanical Engineer) finished the natural pool indoor/outdoor transition point redesign including a materials list and the video and design specifics you see here showing two plexiglass doors that will open. This two-door system creates an additional space in the middle to improve insulative properties and allow for easy cleaning of both sides of the plexiglass to keep them clean and easy to see through. Here is the best summary image and more images are on the natural pool page:
Karl Harris (Architect Drafter, Designer, and founder of Harris Design & Technology Services) also added the stairs, walls, and cupola details for the north-view CAD elevations:
One Community is solutioneering our future including 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:
This last week Guy Fraser (Software Developer and Information Architect) completed an extensive analysis of wordpress (the same platform this website is created on) as a platform for collaboration for both the Highest Good Network and the global plant database that Guy has been working on for months. Here is a screenshot of the page that the core team created to share his research and findings so others can benefit from this too:

One Community is happy to welcome Public Architecture to the Highest Good Collaborators Team:
Public Architecture is a national charitable organization based in San Francisco. It engages architecture and design firms, nonprofits, and manufacturers to commit to design for the public good through its nationally recognized 1% program; it acts to bring about positive community change through public-interest design initiatives and pro bono design service grants; and it shares the potential of design to change the world through advocacy and outreach. As a One Community partner, the 1% program uses its matching system (and offers the same service to all 501(c)(3) nonprofits) to find designers providing pro bono services to match with our design service needs covering all aspects of Highest Good Housing and the Duplicable City Center.

One Community is happy to welcome Mike Creedy to the Consultants Team:
Mike Creedy – Earthbuilder, Electrical Engineer, and Commercial Mushroom Farmer: Mike was born in Wales and immigrated to Namibia when he was 7 years old. After leaving school he apprenticed as an electrician at De Beers diamond mines followed by a four year electrical engineering college degree in South Africa and two more years at Cape Town university enrolled in the electrical field again. He then joined a commercial mushroom farm and spent 6 years there working up to farm manager before returning to De Beers on the engineering side. 5 years later he moved back to his senior school town and spent 10 years in the position of city electrical engineer. Mike immigrated to Florida in 1996 and took up citizenship five years later. In 2011 Mike started building a dome home and, thanks to all the engineering background, was able to do all the work in-house. Mike is passionate about vegetarianism (40 years), hügels, organic veggie home growing, creating biodynamic and colloidal compost, and sustainability in general. Sharing One Community’s values to create and open source share for the benefit of all of humanity, Mike joined the Consultants and Partner’s team, shared the details of his own project, and continues to share his experience and input as needed to help us with the open source earthbag village (and any other sustainability aspects he has experience in).

We are creating whole-systems approach for world change including 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:
This last week the core team finished the English Subject molecule! Here it is:
We are creating whole-systems approach for world change including 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:
This last week the core team created the final 3-D renders of the complete aquapini and walipini footprint. Here is a series showing this in-ground growing and aquaponics concept that will include 6 different internal growing environments, recreational spaces, water collection off of all structures, a central water pond for storage, and a central amphitheater for hosting recreational and educational events:
We also finished adding the diversity details to the organic cucumber section of the large-scale gardening page that now offers 10 different varieties of cucumbers from around the world, 7 beautifully featured, and complete sourcing details for all of these and the other food plants already on this page:
We are creating whole-systems approach for world change including Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:
This last week the core team began outlining a strategy for crowdfunding the building and open source sharing of a 3-dome home cluster. We’ll be building it in West Virginia and the campaign will provide complete building plans, multimedia building instructions for all components, opportunities to join the team for hands-on learning, and more. All of which will be a stepping stone to the construction of the complete Earthbag Village. We will continue to share weekly update details on our progress as we detail the rest of our plan and complete all the necessary plans, videos, labor projections, materials lists, etc. etc.
We also finished outlining version 1.0 of our remote internet plan. Here is a screenshot of this GoogleDoc:
And finished our tank versus tankless water heater comparison research for the earthbag village communal showers showing a heatpump with a simple solar collector as the best choice by far for heating water in off-grid situations like ours where energy costs can significantly raise the total water heating costs because they are directly tied to needing more energy infrastructure. Here is the cost to implement combined with cost to power chart that will soon be included on a complete page sharing all the specifics of our work and research into sustainable and ecological water heating for remote locations:
We are creating whole-systems approach for world change including 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:
This last week week James Nance (Mechanical Engineer and Project Manager with P2S Engineering) continued work on the heating plan for the Duplicable City Center – here are the results of our collaborative outline for all the separate controllable heating zones for floors 1 and 2. Each of the zones outlined will allow us separate heating control so we can maximize the efficiency of this building based on use and season.
Ben Pollock (Full Service Restaurant and Kitchen Designer/Senior Project Manager with Webb Food Service Design) also made huge progress on the kitchen details including specifics for the canning and preserving and dishwashing sections plus all the food serving areas. He also confirmed the specific details for the sprayers, heat boosters, and dishwashers. Here is the updated layout:
Here are the specifics of the equipment Ben chose:

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, further reinforcing the importance of creating whole-systems approach for world change.
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, thus fostering a sense of community and commitment to creating whole-systems approach for world change.
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 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, ultimately contributing to creating whole-systems approach for world change.
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, thereby creating whole-systems approach for world change. 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, further creating whole-systems approach for world change. 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.
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, ultimately contributing to creating whole-systems approach for world change. 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.
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, thereby contributing to creating whole-systems approach for world change.
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, ultimately leading to creating whole-systems approach for world change. This is all supported and made possible because:
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 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.
