Creating a Golden Age for Humanity – One Community Weekly Progress Update #141

Creating a truly sustainable planet would be equivalent to creating a Golden Age for humanity. Imagine a world where sustainable food, energy, and housing are combined with sustainable and more enriching fulfilled living, education, and economics models to meet the needs of all people, everywhere. We call working towards this living and creating 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 creating a Golden Age for humanity 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 first 50% of the written content for the Sustainability 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 “Sustainability.”

Sustainability Lesson Plan – 50% Complete – Click to Visit Page

We also completed an additional third of the mindmap for the Fall Lesson Plan and added it to the webpage. That brings this mindmap to 60% complete, which you can see here:

Behind the scenes, we wrote the final 1/3 of the Sustainability Lesson Plan, bringing the behind-the-scenes written part for that to 100% complete.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating a Golden Age for humanity 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 worked on organizing recipes on breakout pages for specific weeks. The food transition page organization is now 60% complete behind the scenes.

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: Apple Oat Bread with Cinnamon Glaze, Jackfruit Chili, and Spaghetti Squash with Garlic, Tomato & Basil.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating a Golden Age for humanity 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 another thorough and significant revision of the compass installation and use details. You can see some of this work here and we’d say this brings us to 55% complete with this total rewrite and update.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating a Golden Age for humanity through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

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

This week the core team added 3-D natural pool and spa details as our continued development of the Duplicable City Center 3-D specifics. This included the furniture, aesthetic stone details, and people you see here. We also added additional flooring planning and specifics. With these additions we’d say we are now 80% done with the complete 3-D update.

Iris Hsu (Industrial Designer), continued finalizing the Pipe Furniture design renders for the Duplicable City Center library.
