Community as a Path to Meeting the Six Human Needs – One Community Weekly Progress Update #326

Demonstrating community as a path to meeting the six human needs will help these open source models to more quickly become self-replicating. A place where people are happier and more fulfilled is a place more people want to be. We are open sourcing our version of this, and all the foundations as DIY-replicable, so people can evolve it and demonstrate their own ideas of what this means too. We are doing this for “The Highest Good of All” and as a path to global sustainability.

• 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 is the June 23rd, 2019 edition (#326) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments:

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is demonstrating community as a path to meeting the six human needs 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 week Brianna Olsen (Sustainability Researcher) completed her 3rd week researching the most sustainable insulation options. This week she focused on adding the specifications of each product that were still missing, contacting the specific companies for answers to remaining questions, further looking into straw bale construction fire resistance, and initial content creation for the tutorial.
