Global Good News Engine – One Community Weekly Progress Update #312

Isn’t it time for a global good news engine? We have the ability to create a full-time living environment for people dedicated to The Highest Good of all people and life on this planet. People interested in living sustainably and creating open source and free-shared sustainability components that include food, energy, and housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more. Creating endless foundations for good news, good creations, good events, and endless promotion and expansion of them all. This is what One Community is doing and this update  completes 6 years of our progress reports to that effect.

• 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

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

This week, the core team continued the process of modeling the new Duplicable City Center interior design details for the library. This week we moved the mirror down, redesigned the branches and bookshelves, and adjusted the love seat and sofa from the Sketchup warehouse to match actual dimensions and color we’ll be buying. We also corrected the size of all the tables and applied the tree trunk sketchup texture to the columns.

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

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.

• Lesson Plans for Life – Lesson Plans How-to
