Community-Based Eco-Resource Allocation – One Community Weekly Progress Update #153

Community-based eco-resource allocation has the potential to create a sustainable planet for all by offering an improved quality of life through cooperative living in sustainable eco-communities. One Community is open sourcing what will be needed to create a global collaboration of these communities 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

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating community-based eco-resource allocation 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 final 25% of the written content for the Work Lesson Plan to the website, as you see here. This lesson plan purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment, using the central theme of “Work” is now 100% complete on our website.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating community-based eco-resource allocation 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 completed another round of organizing the streamlined version of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page, which includes contributions provided by Naturopathic Doctor Matt Marturano (creator of the COHERENT model for comprehensive digestive health). This week we had an additional pioneer proofread and edit the page. The page is now approximately 98% complete.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating community-based eco-resource allocation 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 put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week’s focus was reviewing, editing, and inserting title steps for Section 8 (Compass Installation) and Section 9 (Bag Preparation and Filling), including additional narrative added to Section 9. We’d say we are now 70% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes.

Behind the scenes, we also added an additional 7% of edits and content to the Tree House Village (Pod 7) presentation begun by the Intern Team over the summer, including rewriting the text in the final few sections, final formatting and last revisions.
