Blueprint for a Better World – One Community Weekly Progress Update #31

One Community is a non-profit organization whose goal is creating a blueprint for a better world. This blueprint is a path to a world that is sustainably sustainable and for The Highest Good of All. It comprehensively and simultaneously addresses all of the challenges that our generation faces. Our blueprint encompasses various aspects of life, including food, energy, housing, education, business creation, social architecture, and more. We are doing this because we see these things as connected and interdependent and this is our weekly progress update (#31) covering our accomplishments for the week of September 23, 2013.

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

BLUEPRINT FOR A BETTER WORLD: FOOD

We are working on creating a blueprint for a better world of food. The One Community food infrastructure incorporates water catchment and storage, maximum space efficiency, and beautiful multi-use space design. Here is a new rendering of what this will look like from Douglas Simms Stenhouse our Architect and Watercolor Artist (transparentwatercolor.com) helping us.

BLUEPRINT FOR A BETTER WORLD: SEGO CENTER DUPLICABLE CITY HUB

We are currently working on a blueprint for a better world that includes creating duplicable city hubs. The SEGO Center Duplicable City Hub now has windows for the Living Dome. Here are screenshots of this detailed and time consuming update. The pictures at the top show the complexity of a task like this that required multiple guides and a lot of creativity to properly align 12 windows that each fell on a minimum of two different surface planes.

This second picture is a view from inside the second floor. The floor guide for the building can be seen in dark colors. The details of the guide are captured. With this view, one can appreciate the beauty and complexity of the architecture.

BLUEPRINT FOR A BETTER WORLD: SEGO CENTER APPLIANCES

We are working on a blueprint for a better world of appliances. Karl Harris (Architect Drafter, Designer, and founder of Harris Design & Technology Services) has also made significant progress on the SEGO Center appliances and large-scale shared dining and commercial kitchen design. Here are pictures of a few of the areas he’s working on and the way we correspond with each other by drawing on screen shots to explain needed edits and updates as we’re working on the 3D details. Below are some pictures of the areas he’s working on.

WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is building a blueprint for a better world, where people can work together to create a sustainable future. 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.

Our ultimate goal is to create a blueprint for a better world. 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.

WHY ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING THIS

The One Community self-replicating model is capable of creating a sustainable planet and providing a blueprint for a better world 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.

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 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 blueprint for a better world.

INSPIRING SUSTAINABILITY WITH OPEN SOURCE

One Community’s four-phase strategy for creating a blueprint for a better world. Our approach focuses on creating solution models that create solution creating models use 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.

Our open source model and blueprints aim to create a blueprint for a better world. They engage and inspire people while simultaneously making sustainable living more affordable and easy to replicate.  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 and creating a blueprint for a better world, 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.

COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO HUMANITY’S NEEDS

One Community is open source sharing an evolution of sustainable living. Our aim is to offer a comprehensive blueprint for a better world that addresses the complete human experience and offer way of life for everyone. 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.

One Community is a movement that is dedicated to sharing open-source solutions for sustainable living. Our aim is to offer a comprehensive blueprint for a better world that addresses all aspects of the human experience and offers a better way of life for everyone. We believe that global challenges such as food security, housing, energy, education, social inequality, ethical business practices, and regenerative earth practices are interconnected. Therefore, we are working on a holistic solution that can address all of these challenges simultaneously. We share everything that is needed for anyone to replicate our model and create self-sustaining communities, villages, and cities 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 by creating a blueprint for a better world.

GLOBALLY IMPLEMENTABLE REPLICATION MODEL

The more people that are inspired and desiring for themselves what it is that One Community is creating, all as part of a blueprint for a better world, 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 helping and creating a blueprint for a better 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.

We are creating a blueprint for a better world. 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.

ONE COMMUNITY’S 4-PHASE STRATEGY

We are creating a blueprint for a better world. 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.

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 our blueprint for a better world 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 and creating a blueprint for a better world. 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 building a blueprint for a better world. 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.

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 that by creating a blueprint for a better world, 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:

• 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 for a better blueprint, the more others will benefit and want to join this movement and mimic the part we are playing in it
