Facilitating a Highest Good Society Model – One Community Weekly Progress Update #132

Facilitating a Highest Good society model built on sustainable infrastructure, a more fulfilling and enjoyable way of living, and sharing both these with others can positively transform our planet for everyone. Forwarding this movement through open source solutions combining sustainable models for food, energy, and housing with ecocentric models for fulfilled living, education, sustainable economics and earth stewardship is one way to accomplish this. Putting these together as self-replicating teacher/demonstration hubs is the “Highest Good of All” approach One Community is committed to:

• 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

One Community is facilitating a Highest Good society model 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 transferred the final 50% of the written content for the Recreation and Relaxation 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 “Recreation and Relaxation” is now 100% complete on our website:

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating a Highest Good society model 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:

    • 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 continued what we hope will be the final revision of the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This week included more floor construction narrative additions, describing the concrete pour process, screeding method and other concrete details, adding more details and formatting to the twine and barbed wire sections, and more bag prep and filling specifics. We’d say we’re now 35% complete with this behind-the-scenes revision.
