Whole-Life Green-Living Models – One Community Weekly Progress Update #107

Creating whole-life green-living models means evolving sustainability to include all aspects of life, not just food, energy, and housing. Open source and free-sharing these plus education, recreation, economics, and earth stewardship can create an even 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

This last week the core team Added the Yellow and Green sections to the Technology and Innovation Molecule webpage, which you can see here. This subject page covers the greatest minds, inventions, and creations of all time plus learning strategies, test-taking strategies, technology implementation, systems theory and analysis, and more backing whole-life green-living models:

Paige Allison Donatelli (Graphic Designer and Owner Operator of Namaste Living in a Material World) also finished another 25% of the image creation for the Civilization lesson plan. This brings us to 75% complete on that mindmap. When complete on the site, this lesson plan will teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment using the central Civilization theme.

Paige also helped us create new social media imagery for promoting the Relative and Dimensional Space lesson plan, which we featured this last week:

WHOLE-LIFE GREEN-LIVING MODELS HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating a whole-life green-living models 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 carrots hub:

And we did this for our food forest understory plantings hub:

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

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

Speaking of food experts, Benjamin Sessions finished all the recipes and images for the second half of Week 4 of the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan. You can see these four new recipes here. In support of diversity, all these recipes are omnivore recipes that can easily be made vegan too. When complete, we’ll have a full six months of menus and recipes for people to reference during their own remote-village creation process.

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

WHOLE-LIFE GREEN-LIVING MODELS HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating a whole-life green-living models 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 more steps for cutting lumber and labeling pieces for the two nightstands and assembling the nightstand frames. What you see here is all this behind-the-scenes work-in-progress. We estimate we are now 57% complete with what is needed for the website:

Also, behind the scenes, we finished another 10% of the earthdome loft construction tutorial specifics – this brings us to 20% complete there. The images you see here are just some of this work that has been done:

We additionally created this new social media imagery and featured our complete earthbag village time investment page:

We also added the work of Scott Thomas and his Shadow Ridge Signature Architecture Program team to the Earthbag Village main open source hub and the earthdome furniture page.

WHOLE-LIFE GREEN-LIVING MODELS DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating a whole-life green-living models 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 last week the core team completed the final 40% of the thermostatic shower valve and heat lamp energy and water savings open source page. This shares the work and calculations of Ron Payne (Mechanical Engineer and HVAC / Thermal Designer) as a complete and open source resource covering our rationale and additional-testing-strategies plan for using this hardware, timers, and in-shower heat lamps for saving energy and water in both the Duplicable City Center and the Earthbag Village.

WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together using whole-life green-living models. 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.

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 based on whole-life green-living models . 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.

INSPIRING SUSTAINABILITY WITH OPEN SOURCE

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.) highlighting the importance of whole-life green-living models . 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 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 the world and leading to a new Golden Age for humanity by following sustainable practices based on whole-life green-living models . 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.
