Creating a goal-oriented ecological renaissance consists of clear objectives and making ecological progress easy enough, affordable enough, and attractive enough to spread on its own. Open source and free-shared resources covering all aspects of sustainable living, created for The Highest Good of All, are One Community’s path to facilitating this:

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is creating a goal-oriented ecological renaissance 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 created the initial setup of the Technology and Innovation Molecule webpage, which you can see here. This is the beginning formatting for this subject page that will cover the greatest minds, inventions, and creations of all time plus learning strategies, test-taking strategies, technology implementation, systems theory and analysis, and more.

Behind the scenes we also finished the rest of the written design for the lesson plan we’re working on with the central theme of “Civilization.”

Paige Allison Donatelli (Graphic Designer and Owner Operator of Namaste Living in a Material World) additionally finished another 30% of the image creation for the Civilization lesson plan. This brings us to 50% complete there. 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:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating a goal-oriented ecological renaissance 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 the final social media imagery and featured our open source beet hub:

We also did this for the open source celery 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 first half of Week 4 of the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan. You can see these four new recipes here along with the one he completed last week. In support of diversity, all these recipes are omnivore recipes that can easily be made vegan too. The purpose of all of these: supply remote village creation menu details sufficient to meet needs until food self-sufficiency is achieved.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating a goal-oriented ecological renaissance 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:

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 cutting lumber and labeling pieces for 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 55% complete with what is needed for the website.
