ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is teaching people how to regenerate our Earth 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 third 25% of the written content for the Summer 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 “Summer” is now 75% completed on our website.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is teaching people how to regenerate our Earth 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

As part of the development of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan, which features contributions from Naturopathic Doctor Matt Marturano (creator of the COHERENT model for comprehensive digestive health), this week the core team added the finalized versions of 3d renders to our Transition Kitchen page, as you can see here:

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is teaching people how to regenerate our Earth 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 on the Section 12 Floor Construction narrative insertion regarding polyethylene use to repel water from upward pressure of ground water. Also, Section 14 Subterranean Exterior Ground Finish, consisting of the creation of horizontal waterproofing below ground and away from the walls to minimize/eliminate additional water penetration from surface level down and toward the subterranean dome walls. We’d say we are now 77% 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) added updated ramp textures and designs to the external render (top pic) and also started exploring furniture layouts for the treehouse family structures.

Dean Scholz, Architectural Designer, further developed what’s necessary for us to create quality Cob Village (Pod 3) renders. Here is update 15 of this work that included the beginnings of designing a representation of what we envision the natural and do-it-yourself constructed outdoor water features will look like.
