Systemic Approach to Total Sustainability – One Community Weekly Progress Update #108

Taking a systemic approach to total sustainability means a progressive approach to sustainability that includes all aspects of life: food, energy, housing, education, economics, recreation, and more. Open source and free-sharing these as a complete model can create a more comprehensive and sustainable option for people. One Community is doing this as a path to global transformation 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

SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO TOTAL SUSTAINABILITY HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is supporting a systemic approach to total sustainability 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 transferring 50% of the written design for the “Civilization” lesson plan to the website – which you can see below. When complete on the site, this lesson plan will use the central theme of Civilization to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment.

We also added 100% of the blue section and 65% of the indigo sections to the Technology and Innovation Molecule webpage, which you can see below. This addition includes informational overviews and links that provide details about these people that have had the greatest impacts on humanity in regards to technology and innovation.

Paige Allison Donatelli (Graphic Designer and Owner Operator of Namaste Living in a Material World) also finished the final 25% of the image creation for the Civilization lesson mindmap:

Paige also helped us create this new image for the “Matter and Materials” lesson plan, which we featured this week:

SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO TOTAL SUSTAINABILITY HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is supporting a systemic approach to total sustainability through Â 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 social media imagery and featured our open source cole crops hub:

And we did this for our food forest vine plantings hub too:

We also researched and added the final major component to the open source eggplants hub: RECIPES! You can see these new additions here:

We also did this for the open source alliums hub. These first recipe lists will grow as our food experts continue the process of designing the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan for remote village construction.

Sandra Sellani, (Vegan Chef and author of What’s Your QB?) also finished another vegan recipe: Mexican Breakfast Hash. You can see this recipe also on the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page.

SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO TOTAL SUSTAINABILITY HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is supporting a systemic approach to total sustainability through Â 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 continued laying out the specifics for the Open Source Murphy bed furniture assembly details behind the scenes. These are part of the Earthbag Village and the crowdfunding campaign plan and new updates included correcting a long list of steps for assembling the nightstand and adding assembly details for the moving upper shelf and upper drawer of the nightstands. What you see here is all this behind-the-scenes work-in-progress. We estimate we are now 60% complete with what is needed for the website.

Also, behind the scenes, we finished another 13% of the earthdome loft construction tutorial specifics – this brings us to 33% complete there. The images you see here are just some of this work that has been done behind the scenes:

Matheus Manfredini (Civil Engineering Student specializing in Urban Design) also completed round 1 of the Earthbag Village water collection calculations and the transportation design specifics you see here:

Sheng Xu (Mechanical Design Engineer) also began putting the 3-dome cluster of the upcoming crowdfunding campaign into SolidWorks. You can see this initial work here:

SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO TOTAL SUSTAINABILITY DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is supporting a systemic approach to total sustainability 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 Robert Seton (Solar Design Engineer and Owner of Solar Hybrid Design) created the next generation design outline you see here for our complete solar infrastructure:

Rob Gjerde (Pool Design & Construction Expert and owner of Sorico Design and Consulting) also finished these final schematics for the open source indoor outdoor natural-pool with a winter-bypass for maximum energy savings:

and he also finished the final schematics for the eco-spa designs shown here that will share the pool heater and, if possible, integrate solar collectors for additional energy savings for water heating:

SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO TOTAL SUSTAINABILITY HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is supporting a systemic approach to total sustainability 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:

• 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 finished the complete webpage for “Socially Responsible Entrepreneurship” on the People’s Agenda 21 site, sharing the best resources we could find for people interested in engaging and/or learning about Socially Responsible Entrepreneurship:

WHY ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING THIS

The One Community self-replicating model is capable of creating a sustainable planet within 30 years through a systemic approach to total sustainability. 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 through a systemic approach to total sustainability. 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 promoting a systemic approach to total sustainability 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.

We also finished the first on-line version of the “Radioactive Wastes” chapter rewrite for the People’s Agenda 21 site:

COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO HUMANITY’S NEEDS

One Community is open source sharing an evolution of sustainable living that addresses the complete human experience and backs a systemic approach to total sustainability. 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 and promoting a a systemic approach to total sustainability.

WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together by a systemic approach to total sustainability. 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.
