ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is creating a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach 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 the final 50% of the lesson plan mindmap with the central theme of “Opposites.” You can see it below. This finishes the final necessary piece of the “Opposites” lesson plan webpage also. This lesson plan is purposed for use by anyone, in any educational environment, working with any age or educational level, to teach any and all subjects within and using this central theme of “Opposites.”

We also finished the first 50% of the lesson plan webpage with the central them of “Highest Good.” You can see this here as an example of what all of the 9 completely finished lesson plans look like.

Behind the scenes we’ve also begun researching the greatest minds in history for the subject of Technology and Innovation Molecule.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach 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 three more complete breakout pages from the large-scale gardening page. These included the Ulluco page, the Sweet Potato Page, and the Wax Gourd Page. You can see all three pages below where you can click on the images to visit the complete pages with detailed plant descriptions, planting guidelines, cultural considerations, and more. These new pages load faster and also give us the space we’ll need to add recipes, gardening tips, harvesting and canning tips, and videos. Contact us if you have any great resources related to any of these plant species.

This last week the core team further refined the calculations for heat retention in the central Tropical Atrium recreation space that will house the Earthbag Village water storage and recycle the village used shower-water heat. We also moved the location of the water storage tank as you can see in the two images here.

We are also down to the last 20-30% of the organizational process for the custom murphy bed furniture. Here you can see this immense and complex task continuing as we sort the final pieces into groups. This has also required a few design changes and updates behind the scenes to the source documents that will require us to also update the images on the site.

Dave Walen (Architectural Drafter & Designer and owner of Dave Philip Walen Design) also made significant progress on the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2) plumbing details and garden layout updates. You can see those here with new specifics added to the ponds and individual unit layouts also.

This last week the core team completed addition of the Processing section of the Control Systems page. You can see these new additions here, bringing us to about 70% completion for this page. This page will be a constantly developing resource for creating a more comprehensive and complete sustainability approach through open source monitoring systems setup, maintenance, evolution, and data gathering and sharing starting with the Duplicable City Center and the Earthbag Village (Pod 1), and expanding as One Community expands.
