Now more than ever the planet could benefit from earth-care teacher demonstration hubs. One Community is an all-volunteer nonprofit building a global collaboration to create them for what we call “The Highest Good” of all people and life on our planet. We are doing this through open source and free-shared do-it-yourself sustainability components that include food, energy, and housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, and global stewardship practices.

Mike Kowalski (Game Developer) finished his third week helping update our Recycled Materials Village (Pod 6) renders that are too big for anything but a gaming computer. What you see here are his first three finished renders.
Mihaela “Michelle” Pinzaru (Interior Designer and Architectural Drafter) also completed her 12th week working on the Tree House Village (Pod 7) residential renders. This week she created the updated central-area renders shown here.
One Community is creating earth-care teacher demonstration hubs 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. Duplicate City Center is important for One Community’s earth-care teacher demonstration hubs.
This week the core team updated the lighting page with the new spreadsheet and basement layout details you see here.
Jin Yu (Structural Engineering Designer) continued with her work with the behind-the-scenes development of the City Center excavation and construction of the footer and foundation tutorial. This week’s focus was finishing the retaining wall calculations shown here.
Yun Lin (Bridge Design Engineer) also completed his 2nd week helping with the beam design and calculation aspects of the City Center structural engineering. This week he created version 1 of the timber beam design spreadsheet you see here.
Dipti Dhondarkar, (Electrical Engineer) continued with her 69th week of work on the lighting specifics for the City Center. This week’s focus was round 2 of updating the lighting design and modeling for the ground floor bedrooms shown here.
One Community is creating earth-care teacher/demonstration hubs 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. Highest Good Food is important for One Community’s earth-care teacher demonstration hubs.
This week, the core team continued working on the Garden Tools list. We revised the tools list, transferred the info from Excel into Google Excel, and added more tools, images, and prices, as shown here.
The core team also researched pollinator attracting and native plants for our area, as shown here.
In addition, the core team continued research and development of the open source Permaculture Design for the property. This week we finished the Phase 1 zonal planning narrative and graphic updates, as shown here.
One Community is creating earth-care teacher/demonstration hubs 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 developing the Lesson Plans How-to tutorial page with the final 70% of the section giving examples of how to use each other component with the lesson plans component.
One Community is creating earth-care teacher/demonstration hubs 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:
This week the core team rebuilt our search menus and updated the search page, some of which you can see here.
We also updated our Policies and Procedures page and related administrative documents with new guidelines for core team members.
The Highest Good Network software team consists of Sowmya Manohar (Software Engineer, Web Developer & Net Application Developer), Shubhra Mittal (Software Delivery Manager), Priyanka Singh (Software Developer), Asha Tadimari (Software Engineer), and Swathy Jayaseelan (Software Developer). This week the team added links to respective profile pages for admins, made all hyperlinks automatically active when entering work descriptions, updated hour and minute inputs to accept zero as an answer, updated the action item section such that only the user for whom time log is being viewed shows up in the select user dropdown, implemented an “add new team” feature to the new project page and the project-detail page, and created several test report options while integrating Google Charts.

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, resources, and work together as a network to heal the planet. They will also transform the global lifestyle to 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 on our Research and Resources Articles Archive.
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.
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.). 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.
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.
We are creating everything One Community does as open source and free-shared blueprints because we see this as the path to a new Golden Age of creativity, innovation, cooperation, and collaboration for all of humanity. Our model is a solution model that creates additional solution creating models enabling people to live and collaborate globally for The Highest Good of All. The easier we make everything we do, the faster we see the world transitioning.
Every aspect of this model supports itself and contributes to its success, from the sustainable food, energy, and homes, to the social architecture, One Community Education Program, and open source sharing model itself. Each piece can be accessed, evolved, and even re-birthed as something completely new. It can be duplicated by itself or with other modules, with applications as diverse as the people who want and need them. The constantly expanding total model will additionally be able to be used in its entirety as the open source project-launch blueprint for a variety of duplicate teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities capable of being built virtually anywhere.
The most profound part is: the more we open source share, the more we help move everyone forward, the more people know about what we are doing and can participate, and the more successful and capable we are of project-launch blueprinting and sharing even more still. This is all supported and made possible because:
One Community sees the issues of the world as interdependent and interconnected. To facilitate earth-care teacher demonstration Hubs and address them simultaneously, we are open-source blueprinting a more advanced standard of living by designing holistic, environmentally-regenerative, self-sustaining, adaptable solutions for all areas of sustainability. We will model these within a comprehensive “village/city” which will be built in the southwestern U.S. This teacher/demonstration hub will be a place people can experience a new way of living and then replicate it with our open source blueprints: creating a model solution that creates additional solution-creating models.
