Ecologically addressing education is about sustainable, forward-thinking education to help people become conscientious global stewards. It is about teaching how to learn more than what to learn, solutioneering and thinking outside the box, and understanding how our individual decisions impact the larger whole. It is about living and creating for The Highest Good of all people and life on this planet and considering what is most important to learn and teach each other in support of this.

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is open sourcing a complete eco-design system 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

Let’s build sustainable communities as a solution to unemployment. Automation, artificial intelligence, and self-driving cars are replacing manufacturing jobs, customer service jobs, and transportation jobs. One Community is open sourcing the foundations for teacher/demonstration hubs that will provide sustainable alternatives for the people no longer needed in these jobs. These alternatives will be more rewarding, more fun, and require less time and energy so people can work less and spend more time doing other things instead.

• 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 is creating a foundation for communities as a solution to unemployment using 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 ran energy-usage calculations and researched the costs of running our top five hand dryers for 1000 cycles. We then updated the most sustainable hand dryer options page to reflect what we learned. This led to updated text and changing the order of our top 3 recommendations, which you can see here.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating a foundation for communities as a solution to unemployment using 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 returned to creating the Most Sustainable Adhesives page. This week we created the resources section, AFM Safecoat section, and Bona^® sections shown here. We’d say this brings this page to 90% complete.

Ron Huang (Mechanical Engineer) continued with his 19th week working on the Energy Modeling for our LEED Platinum certification and City Center open source HVAC design tutorial. This week he tested various air-to-water and central heat pump systems in EneryPlus. The former looks more promising than the later in terms of energy performance. You can see some of this work here.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating a foundation for communities as a solution to unemployment using 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

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is creating a foundation for communities as a solution to unemployment using 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

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is creating a foundation for communities as a solution to unemployment using 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 model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
    • Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
    • Learn about our open source community collaboration and management software: The Highest Good Network

This week the core team working with Brian Gilb (Project Management Professional – PMP) created the Work Breakdown Structure analysis charts shown here for the The Highest Good Network and also edited and simplified our Policies and Procedures and Tangible Contribution pages.

One Community is connecting world change with having more fun. We are doing this by designing open source and free-shared sustainability components (food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, and global stewardship practices) that will provide more time, money, and access to fulfilled living practices and an enriching social architecture.

• 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
