Creating a World that Works for Us All – One Community Weekly Progress Update #62

One Community is intent on creating a world that works for us all – literally, all people, everywhere. We are doing this through open source and free-shared blueprints, tools, tutorials, and DIY approaches for building educational and experiential hubs that teach and spread living 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

We are creating a world that works 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 finished the the Science Subject Molecule. Here it is:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

We are creating a world that works for us all through open source sharing 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 | Tropical Atrium

This last week the core team added the Aquapini and Aesthetic and Diversity-focused Zen Aquapini details to the complete indoor-growing food infrastructure 3-D footprint. Here you can see those new details inside the structures:

Details Added to the Complete Indoor-growing Food Infrastructure 3-D Footprint

We also finished adding 50% of the diversity details to the heirloom beets section of the large-scale gardening page. When finished we will feature 10 different varieties and include complete sourcing details:

Heirloom Beets Section – 50% Complete

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

We are creating a world that works for us all through open source sharing 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 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 calculated maximum peak wattage for the complete Earthbag Village:

Maximum Peak Wattage for the Complete Earthbag Village Calculated

We also calculated the heat reclamation from the showers to the Tropical Atrium generating a maximum possible heat extraction of 11,535 BTU/hr or 81.139 kWh/day:

Possible Heat Reclamation from Showers to the Tropical Atrium

DUPLICABLE CITY HUB PROGRESS

We are creating a world that works for us all through open source sharing a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, can provide laundry for over 300 people, beautiful, spacious, saves resources, saves money, and saves space:

• Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This last week the core team began the necessary in-depth research for the best materials. Here’s an example of what we are looking at and how we are evaluating them:
