Global Sustainability and Healing – One Community Weekly Progress Update #293

One Community is forwarding global sustainability and healing through open source and free-shared tools, tutorials, and resources covering all aspects of sustainability. We will use them to build One Community as the first of a global cooperative of self-replicating teacher/demonstration hubs working together and open sourcing everything we do for The Highest Good of all people and life on our planet.

• 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 HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global sustainability and healing 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: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
    • 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 week the core team researched, purchased, and downloaded a diversity of new isolated-people images to add to the new Earthbag Village (Pod 1) renders we’ve created.

Dipti Dhondarkar (Electrical Engineer) also continued developing the lighting specifics for the City Center. This is Dipti’s 102nd week volunteering on this task and the focus this week was creating DiaLUX exports of all the lighting layouts and creating a new zonal floor plan cleaned of all the textures so we can start moving the lights over to the Master File.

Aparna Tandon (Architect) also continued with her 4th week helping with the design and evaluation details for applying the WELL Building Standards™ to the Duplicable City Center. This week she researched the Materials and Resources category of LEED Version 4, summarized the guidelines for meeting the prerequisites, and explored how they will overlap with the WELL air feature, enhanced materials safety, toxic materials reduction, and mind feature regarding materials transparency. You can see some of this work here.

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. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished. We’ll report on the final two elements to be finished as we develop them.

With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

• Program Overview: Education Open Source Hub
• How the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
  
• Lesson Plans for Life – Lesson Plans How-to
• Foundations of Outstanding Leaders, Teachers, and Communicators
• Curriculum for Life
• Teaching Strategies for Life
• Learning Tools and Toys for Life
• Evaluation and Evolution
