Earth biohacking is already happening, it just seems that we’re not doing a very positive job of it so far. What if we collective decided to sustainably biohack Earth using global stewardship practices? Collective action like this could be possible if it were demonstrated as easy enough, affordable enough, and comparable to or better than the way most people are living already. One Community is open sourcing and free-sharing the necessary components for global implementation and replication.

One Community is open sourcing earth Biohacking 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 working with Michael Hagler (Senior Graphic Designer and Artist) finished the final PDF review of the 7-villages book we’re developing and sent it off to the printer for an initial print draft. You can see some of our editing process here.
Michael then integrated all the above edits. He also finished final creation and edits for these 4 pages, which are all now integrated into the website also.
The core team also created these updated renders for the open source Murphy bed furniture preview image. This included adding new objects, updating the texture of the wall lights, and adding loft light for rendering with the bed up and down.
Mike Kowalski (Game Developer) finished his 16th week helping update our renders that are too big for anything but a gaming computer. Mike continued working on the Earthbag Village (Pod 1) and finished the render you see here.
Mike also contributed these images to the open source Murphy bed furniture preview image.
Shadi Kennedy (Artist and Graphic Designer) completed his 17th week leading the development of the Murphy bed instructions and finished the graphic by integrating the images we just shared and also finished another round of instruction-edits integration for the back changing and storage area. What you see here is where the assembly instructions are so far for this component and we’d say we are about 80% complete with this part of these instructions.
Dean Scholz (Architectural Designer) also joined the team working on the Earthbag Village (Pod 1). Here is weekly update #126 from Dean, his focus this week was this initial AutoCAD work for alternate floor plan options for the homes we’ll be building as part of this village.
Dan Alleck (Designer and Illustrator) additionally completed his 24th week working on the Compressed Earth Block Village render additions. This week he began initial people and object additions for this Earth Block Village 2nd floor outdoor perspective looking East.
One Community is open sourcing earth Biohacking 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:
This week the core team continued rebuilding the City Center geodesic dome in 3D. This week we continued the shell structure process where we redid and solved parts-length errors to finish row 5, as shown here.
The core team working with Dipti Dhondarkar (Electrical Engineer) also continued developing the lighting specifics for the City Center. This is Dipti’s 90th week volunteering on this task and the focus this week was finalizing the lighting tests shown here for the 4th-floor cupola. This image is now on the website also.
Anvita Kumari Pandey (Civil Engineer) completed her 18th week helping with the Duplicable City Center Materials and Costs. This week’s focus was 1st version of the total cost analysis and detailed cost analysis for the footing concrete and basement slab concrete, and making changes to the cement mortar cost analysis details.
Dehua Feng (Civil Engineer) also completed his 16th week working on the fire suppression and safety systems designs for the Duplicable City Center Sprinkler and Emergency Systems open source hub. This week’s focus was writing content, AutoCAD updates, and creating imagery and charts used to update another 20 pages of the tutorial, some of which you can see here.
One Community is open sourcing earth Biohacking 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:
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 finalized the worm information and reviewed and completed edits of the soil amendments section. You can see some of this work here.
One Community is open sourcing earth Biohacking 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 week, the core team finished work on the Surpassing Educational Standards page by adding the rest of the content, finishing the formatting, and inserting all the graphics. You can see some of this work here.
One Community is open sourcing earth Biohacking 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:

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together. We are creating a space that helps each other live in integrity with each other and the planet as we strive to be the greatest versions of ourselves. We do this by harmoniously respecting each other, nature, and the rest of our one shared planet, incorporating earth biohacking practices.
Our goal is to demonstrate what we feel is the most sustainable, healthy, and fun environment we can create. A place based on compassion, kindness, and collaboration, integrating earth biohacking principles. This replicable community will serve as an example of what is possible.
Throughout our design process, we are open sourcing and free-sharing everything needed for construction and replication. This includes what we call “Highest Good” approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economics design, social architecture, fulfilled living, stewardship practices, and more, including earth biohacking strategies. We are creating these resources for implementation as individual components or complete developments called teacher/demonstration hubs. These hubs will help launch additional hubs as awareness and knowledge grow.
One Community will be the first teacher/demonstration hub. It will function as an experiential-learning model that facilitates mass participation to address humanity’s most pressing challenges through: A replicable model for expansion, building seven self-sufficient village/city prototypes, becoming the world leader in open-source sustainability solutions, and evolving and expanding ALL aspects of sustainable living, including earth biohacking methodologies.
The One Community self-replicating model is capable of creating a sustainable planet within 30 years. We will achieve this by establishing successful teacher/demonstration hubs on every continent. Villages include designs appropriate for each of the five main types of climates. They also include options for even the most challenged economies. These hubs will collaborate with one another, share ideas, and resources, and work together as a network to heal the planet through earth biohacking. They will also transform the global lifestyle into a more enjoyable, fulfilling, healthy, and sustainable one.
The specifics of how One Community is accomplishing this can be found on the One Community Solution Model to Create Solution-creating Models Page. Research supporting and showing the benefits of a model like this can be found in our Research and Resources Articles Archive, which also explores the potential of earth biohacking..
Even if we don’t achieve our ultimate goal of global transformation, a self-replicating teacher/demonstration model like this will take a relatively short period of time to positively affect millions while inspiring millions more. For One Community residents (the Pioneer Team), the idea of creating and sharing the social and recreational experience with visitors is also fun, exciting, fulfilling, and an additional reason why we are creating this, integrating elements of earth biohacking.
One Community’s four-phase strategy for the creation of solution models that create solution creating models uses open source blueprints for duplication that simultaneously address all aspects of the human experience (food, energy, housing, education, social inequality and injustice, fulfilled living, etc.), incorporating principles of earth biohacking. We see these areas as interdependent and requiring a comprehensive solution if humanity is to move ecologically, socially, economically, and permanently towards a truly sustainable future for everyone.
Our open source model and blueprints engage and inspire people while simultaneously making sustainable living more affordable and easy to replicate. By free-sharing the step-by-step plans people need for duplication, inviting people to participate, and demonstrating sustainable teacher/demonstration hubs as a more desirable way of living, the model will predictably expand on its own, incorporating principles of earth biohacking.
It is this approach we see uniting the world and leading to a new Golden Age for humanity. While we understand that not everyone believes this is even possible, we are nonetheless bringing together all those that do see this as possible as the non-profit think tank of forward-thinking individuals willing to design, build, and open source project-launch blueprint and free-share it for The Highest Good of All, incorporating principles of earth biohacking.
One Community is open source sharing an evolution of sustainable living that addresses the complete human experience. We are doing this because we see the solutions for global food, housing, energy, education, social inequality, ethical business practices, earth regenerative practices, and a desire for a more fulfilling living experience as inseparably interconnected. As a comprehensive solution, we are addressing all these areas simultaneously and open source free-sharing everything needed for individual duplication and/or duplication as complete self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities, integrating principles of earth biohacking, to be built around the world.
As we address and open source share these areas we will establish a living example of the first teacher/demonstration village purposed to teach others. To maximally facilitate duplication, One Community will provide seven duplicable examples and function indefinitely as a place people can visit and a non-profit and open source think tank continuing to further evolve and share solutions in all of the above areas and more, including earth biohacking. We will also provide hands-on experience and training. Most importantly, growing upon our sustainable foundation, we will endlessly make this comprehensive solution even more widely known and globally accessible, understandable and diversely duplicable, and inspiring and desirable as a model worth duplicating.
The more people that are inspired and desiring for themselves what it is that One Community creates, the more demand there will be for spreading the One Community model. This leads to the directing of financial resources and resourceful people where we believe they are needed most: the establishment of additional sustainable communities around the world, including earth biohacking. We also feel this duplication will specifically happen quickly internationally due to the affordability of overseas land, less restrictive building environments, and the spirit of adventure in many people who really desire to make a difference for those who need it most.
To meet the increasing demand for sustainability that we are contributing to, we are coordinating with manufacturers, education institutions, individuals, and vendors, including earth biohacking. This is also part of this model to help the world. Its purpose is to facilitate more engagement in the sustainability industry, produce the absolute best possible consumer value, and the most convenient delivery of goods and methodologies for building sustainable living communities and sustainable living components.
This means we not only provide education and increase needed sustainability resources, but we also address the underlying roadblocks to a sustainable planet by decreasing the cost and simultaneously increasing the demand and generating financial support for global sustainability, philanthropy, and humanitarian movements and organizations.
As demand increases, so too will the ways to participate. Right now people are participating as consultants or partners donating time to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and others are more involved as Pioneers of the core team that will be moving to the property. We also have options for people to just follow our progress or participate through internet contribution.
Once the supportive physical infrastructure is about 30% developed, One Community will be ready to additionally expand what we offer to include scholarships, free weekend learning groups, core team members choosing to travel abroad to help others get established too, handling the marketing for all similar models operating for The Highest Good of All, and hosting classes and other sponsored events to promote and demonstrate additional methodologies.
We also imagine the high likelihood that our organization will become a foundation that can be trusted as the donation point for distribution of monies to help others to establish this model also.
