Global Sustainable Change – One Community Weekly Progress Update #155

Global sustainable change will happen once it is demonstrated as easy enough, affordable, and attractive enough. Open source and free-sharing complete sustainable villages that include food, energy, housing, education, economics, and a more fulfilled and enriching way of living is one way to facilitate this. We call this living and creating for The Highest Good of All:

• 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 forwarding global sustainable change 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 second 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 50% completed on our website.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding global sustainable change 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:

• • • Learn about the structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
    • See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This last week the core team updated and further developed the work of Ana Flavia Almeida (Architecture and Urban Planning Student) into these renders for the Transitory Kitchen purposed to feed 50 people in remote locations during sustainable village construction.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding global sustainable change 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 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 review of the FFF CAD drawings and changing the original horizontal insulation to vertical insulation against the earthbag walls in Section 11. We’d say we are now 72% 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) also began designing the details of the playroom structure with a screen enclosure added for child safety, and the kitchen structure with wrap around seating, both of which are shown here:

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding global sustainable change 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:

• • • Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team continued working on the renders for the Duplicable City Center. What you see here is a Dining Dome render where we worked on textures, ceiling lighting, and table lights in the kitchen/dining area:

One Community is forwarding global sustainable change 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:

• • • Read the Highest Good society overview: Highest Good Society

    • Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
