Demonstrating sustainable sustainability will be easier in sustainable communities. This is because the current “everyone for themselves” approach just isn’t designed with sustainability in mind. Cooperation and collaboration work better, more efficiently, and can more easily problem solve the diversity of challenges truly sustainable food, energy, housing, education, economics, social architecture, fulfilled living, and global stewardship practices require. One Community is designing open source plans and teacher/demonstration hubs to support this.

One Community’s physical location will forward this movement as the first of many self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world. This is the March 10th, 2019 edition (#311) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments:

One Community is demonstrating sustainable sustainability 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 week the core team continued design updates to the open source Murphy bed furniture assembly details. This week we researched the building code for outlets, made electrical outlet and switch location updates, and made an opening in the wall by the bed to access these new switches and outlets. You can see some of this work here.
The core team also continued developing the best, safest, and most sustainable paints, primers, stains, and sealers page. This week we added details for 1 more natural paint company and 3 different DIY paint options.

This week the core team continued writing the behind-the-scenes narrative and detailed food rollout plan for the various stages of development. This week we continued researching goat care and fencing, reviewed the video “Treating Wood Fence Posts – The old Timers Way” to extend the life of the posts, added comments to the Google Doc, updated the fencing materials list to include gravel, and combined the timeframes with the rewritten steps. You can see some of this behind-the-scenes work here.

One Community is building the foundations for how humanity creates a sustainable world 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. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished. We’ll report on the final two elements to be finished as we develop them.
With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

"In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model.
You create a new model and make the old one obsolete. That, in essence, is the higher service to which we are all being called."
