Transformational Eco-Human Progress – One Community Weekly Progress Update #131

Transformational Eco-Human Progress is the movement of humanity towards the ecological mindset capable of creating a sustainable world. One Community is forwarding this movement through open source solutions combining sustainable models for food, energy, and housing with ecocentric models for fulfilled living, education, sustainable economics and earth stewardship. 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

WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together, embracing a transformational eco-human progress. 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 of transformational eco-human progress and 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.

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 that supports the transformational eco-human progress. 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 contribute to transformational eco-human progress, positively affecting 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.

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

TRANSFORMATIONAL ECO-HUMAN PROGRESS – HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding Transformational Eco-Human 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 50% of the written content for the Recreation and Relaxation 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 “Recreation and Relaxation.”

We also wrote the second 1/3 of the Creativity Lesson Plan behind the scenes, bringing the written portions of that one to 65% complete.

And finally, we completed and added the final 25% of the mindmap for the Social Relationships Lesson Plan to the webpage, bringing that to 100% complete! You can see that finished mindmap here:

TRANSFORMATIONAL ECO-HUMAN PROGRESS – HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding Transformational Eco-Human 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 finished the final social media imagery and featured our open source mauka hub:

We also researched and added preparation information for ahipa, maca, arracacha, and cabacui to their respective sections of our open source Large Scale Gardening Hub, which means that portion of our website is now 100% complete!

Last but not least, we 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: Red Velvet Protein Smoothie, Tabbouleh-Style pasta, and Polenta Bolognese.

TRANSFORMATIONAL ECO-HUMAN PROGRESS – HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding Transformational Eco-Human 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 continued what we hope will be the final revision of the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This week included placement procedure of polyethylene, creating a more thorough step-by-step instruction guide for the stem and buttress wall construction, detailed narrative re-write for bailing twine tying and barbed wire installation, and adding corbeling data specifics. We’d say we’re now 30% complete with this behind-the-scenes revision.

We also updated the AutoCAD file for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring to include more and updated specifics, and also more colors, to make it easier to understand.

We additionally updated the Tree House Village (Pod 7) with a new header image, an overview of what this village is all about, and the 3-D interactives from Gilberto Martini de Oliveira (3D Animation Designer). We’d say this initial setup puts us at about 5% complete with that page.

On the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2), we discussed behind the scenes the aesthetics of what the central foldable chimney will look like and updated the AutoCAD file to reflect the placement of the winch system that will move it out of the way.

TRANSFORMATIONAL ECO-HUMAN PROGRESS – DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding Transformational Eco-Human 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 its function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team continued updating the Sketchup 3-D for the Duplicable City Center. This week we worked on updating the Dining Dome staircase, under-staircase storage, second floor dining area layout and second floor railings. We’d say we’re now 55% complete with the total 3-D update.

We also began transferring the updates from Mike Hogan (Automation Systems Developer and Business Systems Consultant) to the Control Systems and Automation page. You can see this work here and we’d say we are about 20% complete with the total page redesign.

Behind the scenes Lucas Tsutsui da Silva (4th-year Computer Engineering Student), working under Mike’s guidance, also resumed work on one of the room connector decks for the Control System for the Duplicable City Center. You can see this developing here:

We also updated the Seeking Educators and Creative Minds page and associated help-wanted ads and requests.

Along with this we added a clear request to all our application pages for people interested in joining us as a member of our management team.

Oz Czerski (Lawyer Specializing in Trademark and Copyright Law) also completed the first 50% of writing the Open Source and Copyrights and Trademarking tutorial behind the scenes. What you see here is a snapshot of this work from our collaborative GoogleDoc:

OPEN SOURCE SHARING STRATEGY SPECIFICS

One Community’s open source strategy will evolve 5 primary types of open source content purposed to reach and service as broad an audience as possible. This includes the following mediums of sharing that are being developed to function as standalone resources or in combination with each other:

• Video tutorials
• Audio tutorials
• Live streaming video
• Direct/live interaction
• Written content and downloadable PDFs

Maximum exposure is accomplished through simultaneous implementation of the following strategies:

• Free-shared audio, visual, and PDF downloads
• Scholarship and intern programs for direct learning
• Videoing or live-streaming almost all classes and activities
• Tourism option for involvement in almost all aspects of One Community
• Dedicated and search engine optimized sections of our website for each key area
• Our established infrastructure that simultaneously posts to over 20 social networks

SUMMARY – TRANSFORMATIONAL ECO-HUMAN PROGRESS

One Community sees the issues of the world as interdependent and interconnected. To address them simultaneously, and drive transformational eco-human progress, 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.
