• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
  
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating

Creating a Better World for Everyone
One Community Progress Update #140

Here is the bullet-point list of this last week’s design and progress discussed in detail in the video above:

CREATING A BETTER WORLD FOR US ALL INTRO: @1:03

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION: @1:57

• Transferred the final 50% of the written content for the Fall Lesson Plan to the website (see below)
• Completed and added the first 25% of the mindmap for the Fall Lesson Plan and fall subject theme icons to the webpage (see below)
• Behind the scenes: Wrote the second 1/3 of the Winter Lesson Plan

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD: @3:08

• Completed another 10% on the organization of the streamlined version of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page, which includes contributions provided by Naturopathic Doctor Matt Marturano (see below)
• Added three additional recipes from Sandra Sellani to the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan (see below)

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING: @4:22

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is creating a better world for us all 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 50% of the written content for the Fall 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 “Fall.”

We additionally completed and added the first 25% of the mindmap for the Fall Lesson Plan and fall subject theme icons to the webpage. You can see the mindmap here:

Behind the scenes, we also wrote the second 1/3 of the Winter Lesson Plan, bringing the behind-the-scenes written part for that to about 65% complete.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating a better world for us all 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 10% on the organization of 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 added anchor links & images to sections of the page and began creating breakout pages for specific weeks of recipes. The page is now 50% complete behind the scenes.  

Continued Work on our Streamlined Version of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan Page – Click to Visit Main food Page

We also 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: Unstuffed Poblano, “Chicken” Chopped Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette, and Tomato Pumpkin Bisque:

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating a better world for us all 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 upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This week’s focus was footer widths and forms specifics, edits of excavation and centerpoint re-establishment, and compass installation details. You can see some of this work here and we’d say this brings us to 54% complete with this total rewrite and update:

• • • Learn about this building and its function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team added 3-D people, some additional venting details, and shelving support for the Duplicable City Center kitchen (top row). We also redid the 2nd floor dining area to match the updated AutoCAD floorplan (bottom row). We’d say this brings us to 78% done with the complete 3-D update:

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is creating a better world for us all through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

This last week the core team finished building the Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents and Using them to Support Open Source and Free-sharing page. This page shares the amazing work of Oz Czerski, a Lawyer Specializing in Trademark and Copyright Law. This week’s progress included final edits and formatting to bring this page to 100% complete. We also placed ads to try and find ourselves a volunteer Patent Attorney or Patent Agent to help create the open source and patenting tutorial page.
