WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together, focusing on how to regenerate earth. We are creating a space that helps each other live in integrity with each other and the planet as we strive to be the greatest versions of ourselves, all while learning how to regenerate earth. We do this by harmoniously respecting each other, nature, and the rest of our one shared planet, understanding the importance of how to regenerate earth.

Our goal is to demonstrate what we feel is the most sustainable, healthy, and fun environment we can create, emphasizing how to regenerate earth. A place based on compassion, kindness, and collaboration. This replicable community will serve as an example for what is possible in terms of how to regenerate earth.

Throughout our design process we are open sourcing and free-sharing everything needed for construction and replication, including approaches on how to regenerate earth. This includes what we call “Highest Good” approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economics design, social architecture, fulfilled living, stewardship practices and more, all with a focus on how to regenerate earth. We are creating these resources for implementation as individual components or complete developments called teacher/demonstration hubs, all aimed at understanding how to regenerate earth.

BUILDING THE FIRST OF MANY

One Community will be the first teacher/demonstration hub. It will function as an experiential-learning model that facilitates mass participation to address humanity’s most pressing challenges through, including how to regenerate earth: A replicable model for expansion, building seven self-sufficient village/city prototypes, becoming the world leader in open-source sustainability solutions, emphasizing on how to regenerate earth and evolving and expanding ALL aspects of sustainable living.

WHY ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING THIS

The One Community self-replicating model is capable of creating a sustainable planet within 30 years, with a focus on how to regenerate earth. We will achieve this by establishing successful teacher/demonstration hubs on every continent. Villages include designs appropriate for each of the five main types of climates. They also include options for even the most challenged economies. These hubs will collaborate with one another, share ideas, resources, and work together as a network to heal the planet. They will also transform the global lifestyle to a more enjoyable, fulfilling, healthy, and sustainable one, centered around how to regenerate earth.

The specifics of how One Community is accomplishing this can be found on the One Community Solution Model to Create Solution-creating Models Page. Research supporting and showing the benefits of a model like this can be found on our Research and Resources Articles Archive.

Even if we don’t achieve our ultimate goal of global transformation, a self-replicating teacher/demonstration model like this focusing on how to regenerate earth will take a relatively short period of time to positively affect millions while inspiring millions more.  For One Community residents (the Pioneer Team), the idea of creating and sharing the social and recreational experience with visitors is also fun, exciting, fulfilling, and an additional reason why we are creating this.

INSPIRING SUSTAINABILITY WITH OPEN SOURCE

One Community’s four-phase strategy for the creation of solution models that create solution creating models uses open source blueprints for duplication that simultaneously address all aspects of the human experience (food, energy, housing, education, social inequality and injustice, fulfilled living, etc.). We see these areas as interdependent and requiring a comprehensive solution if humanity is to move ecologically, socially, economically, and permanently towards a truly sustainable future for everyone, in term of how to regenerate earth.

Our open source model and blueprints engage and inspire people while simultaneously making sustainable living more affordable and easy to replicate. By free-sharing the step-by-step plans focusing on how to regenerate earth people need for duplication, inviting people to participate, and demonstrating sustainable teacher/demonstration hubs as a more desirable way of living, the model will predictably expand on its own.

It is this approach of how to regenerate earth we see uniting the world and leading to a new Golden Age for humanity. While we understand that not everyone believes this is even possible, we are nonetheless bringing together all those that do see this as possible as the non-profit think tank of forward-thinking individuals willing to design, build, and open source project-launch blueprint and free-share it for The Highest Good of All.

WHY OPEN SOURCE

We are creating everything One Community does as open source and free-shared blueprints because we see this as the path to a new Golden Age of creativity, innovation, cooperation, and collaboration for all of humanity. Our model is a solution model that creates additional solution creating models enabling people to live and collaborate globally for The Highest Good of All. The easier we make everything we do, the faster we see the world transitioning, in terms of how to regenerate earth.

Every aspect of this model supports itself and contributes to its success, from the sustainable food, energy, and homes, to the social architecture, One Community Education Program, and open source sharing model itself, focusing on how to regenerate earth. Each piece can be accessed, evolved, and even re-birthed as something completely new. It can be duplicated by itself or with other modules, with applications as diverse as the people who want and need them. The constantly expanding total model will additionally be able to be used in its entirety as the open source project-launch blueprint for a variety of duplicate teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities capable of being built virtually anywhere, all focused on how to regenerate earth..

The most profound part is: the more we open source share, the more we help move everyone forward, the more people know about what we are doing and can participate, and the more successful and capable we are of project-launch blueprinting and sharing even more still. This is all supported and made possible because:

• We have the team to produce an extensive quality and diversity of tools and resources.
• It gives us the opportunity to broaden the concept of sustainability and make it more desirable.
• Areas we open source expand our ability to evolve even faster through global collaboration.
• Each new area open sourced expands our target audience, advancing our world changing goals centered around how to regenerate earth.
• The more we show our ability to share what we are creating, the more others will benefit and want to join this movement and mimic the part we are playing in it.
