ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is building the foundations for revolutionizing the sustainability industry 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 finished the final 50% of the Love Lesson Plan behind the scenes, then we finished the first 25% of the related mindmap, and we got the first 50% of the webpage created. You can see all of this work here:

Behind the scenes we also finished another 20% of the lesson plan design with the central theme of “Recreation” bringing us to 70% done there.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is building the foundations for revolutionizing the sustainability industry 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 finished three more complete breakout pages from the large-scale gardening page. These included the Corn page, the Cucumber page, and the Eggplant page. All with detailed descriptions, planting guidelines, cultural considerations, and this new format that loads faster and gives us the space we’ll need to add recipes, gardening tips, harvesting and canning tips, videos and more. Contact us if you have any great resources related to either of these plant species. Here are snapshots of the three pages:

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is building the foundations for revolutionizing the sustainability industry 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 finished final formatting and additional details for another 25% of the earthbag construction dome home energy infrastructure instructional webpage component of the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This brings us to 75% complete here and, when we’re complete, this will be the most detailed and comprehensive dome-home electrical instructional available.

Behind the scenes we’re also now done with 15% of the plumbing instructional that will be equally as detailed.

In addition to this, we added the energy rollout and phasing-in details for 50-100 people creating off-grid village energy infrastructure. You can see see this here and the rest of the phase-in details for 10-20 people and 20-50 people are on the complete page:

Energy Rollout and Phasing-in Details for 50-100 People – Click for Page

We also completed an assessment of all components in the sustainable village models and their individual peak wattage contributions that you can see here:

Emergency Power Peak Wattage Pairto

We combined this with this new assessment of the total energy contributions. All of this was to assist with our strategy in the event of a power emergency. If you want to read about it, complete explanations are in the new FAQ section of the Highest Good Energy page that can be reached directly by clicking on either image:

Emergency Power Total Wattage Needs Assessment

Dave Walen (Architectural Drafter & Designer and owner of Dave Philip Walen Design) also began a redesign of the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2) to eliminate the rounded walls to make this village model significantly easier and more affordable to build. Here is this redesign:

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is building the foundations for revolutionizing the sustainability industry 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 last week the core team completed the final Duplicable City Center 3-D video renders and wrapped up the video with last week’s still renders. Here is the complete video showing this structure in 3-D from start to finish:

We also finished the first 50% of the property-wide hydronic setup details page that you can see here. This covers setting up the hot water heating systems for portable showers and the initial building teams with a short discussion of how the components will later be integrated into the Duplicable City Center and other permanent structures.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is building the foundations for revolutionizing the sustainability industry 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:

• 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 last week the core team updated and featured our World Change Strategy Overview page that is the simplest overview of what it is we are creating and why. It outlines our 4-phase strategy that we are implementing and how we see this as a path to a new era of cooperation, collaboration, innovation, creativity, sustainability, and increased peace and happiness for all of humanity.
