Eco-renovating our standards of living is a path to creating a world that works for everyone. By creating a higher standard of living made possible through sustainable and Highest Good of All approaches to food, energy, housing, education, economics, fulfilled living practices, and Earth Stewardship, we can create and open source a living model that will predictably spread on its own. This is what One Community is doing:

One Community is eco-renovating our standards of living 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 last week the core team transferred the third 25% of the written content for the Cooperation and Collaboration Lesson Plan to the website, as you see here. This lesson plan purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment, using the central theme of “Cooperation and Collaboration” is now 75% completed on our website.
Behind the scenes, we wrote the final 25% of the written part of the Cooperation and Collaboration Lesson Plan, bringing it to 100% complete.
We also completed the third 25% of the mindmap for the Work Lesson Plan, bringing it to 75% complete, which you see here:
One Community is eco-renovating our standards of living 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 last week the core team continued updating and further developing the work of Ana Flavia Almeida (Architecture and Urban Planning Student) into these renders for the Transitory Kitchen. This week’s additions were more accurate textures, lighting, and backgrounds. This open source kitchen is purposed to feed 50 people in remote locations during sustainable village construction.
We also added a new resource section to the Aquapini/Walipini page as seen here, and additional resources to the open source Hoop Houses page too.
One Community is eco-renovating our standards of living 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 last week the core team put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week’s focus was setting up a chart for the mix ratios of the earthbag contents of Section 9 and revising the vertical wall insulation back to its original horizontal location in Section 11. We’d say we are now 73% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes.

Working on the Tree House Village (Pod 7), Jesika Rohrbach (Architectural Drafter, Designer, and 3-D Modeler) created all the designs you see here for the Tree House Village game room structure…
….and Jesika also added some final details to the kitchen structure:
Dean Scholz, Architectural Designer, further developed what’s necessary for us to create quality Cob Village (Pod 3) renders. Here is update 11 of this work that continued with cob sitting-space design details.
Brianna Johnson (Interior Designer), also continued evolving the renders for the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2). What you see here is the 3rd render of the central recreation space now with enhanced colors, fire added to the central fire pit, and other aesthetic enhancements.
One Community is eco-renovating our standards of living 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 working on the renders for the Duplicable City Center. What you see here is a work-in-progress, continuing with textures for our Dining Dome render and adjusting the lights in the kitchen/dining area.
Bupesh Seethala (Interior Designer), working with input from Rob Gjerde (Swimming Pool Design & Construction Expert), began working on the design for the Natural Pool and Spa mechanical room details. Here you see Bupesh’s research and initial design plans.
Iris Hsu (Industrial Designer), put the final touches on the Pipe Couch and Table/Chair designs for the Duplicable City Center library by creating these final measurement documents for the couch and then detailed assembly instructions for both the couch and table/chair including a final render, parts list, and step-by-step instructions for putting them both together. Fantastic work by Iris Hsu!
Brianna Johnson (Interior Designer), also continued her work on the pipe shelving for the library. What you see here are the results for more lighting research and the addition of the lights we liked most as part of design layout 2 by Brianna.
Behind the scenes Mike Hogan (Automation Systems Developer and Business Systems Consultant) and Lucas Tsutsui da Silva (4th-year Computer Engineering Student) continued development of the Control Systems main panel. What you see here is the circuit diagram proceeding forward with last week’s designs and a collection of pictures with Mike showing how these circuits will connect different components.
One Community is eco-renovating our standards of living 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 last week the core team created final versions and added the open source trademark infringement letters to the Legal Documents and Processes Page. These letters were written with the help of Oz Czerski, Lawyer Specializing in Trademark and Copyright Law.
We also made final edits and then updated our primary Highest Good hub icons throughout most of our website. The foundation of the icons you see here were designed by Graphic Designer, Ivan Manzurov.
