Sustainability role modeling is one of the goals of One Community’s open source and free-sharing process that includes sustainable approaches to food, energy, and housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, and global stewardship practices. We are doing this to create a global collaboration of teacher/demonstration hubs working together for what we call The Highest Good of All.

One Community’s physical location will forward this movement as the first of many self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world. This is the April 14th, 2019 edition (#316) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments:

One Community is sustainability role modeling 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:
Dean Scholz (Architectural Designer) continued working on the Earthbag Village (Pod 1). Here is weekly update #155 from Dean. This week’s focus, as shown in these images, was creating the housing domes to go with the bathroom dome in the 3 and 6-dome clusters.

One Community is sustainability role modeling 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:
This week, the core team continued the process of 3D modeling the new Duplicable City Center interior design details for the library. This week we updated the textures for the picture frames, bookshelves, benches, sofas, and most of the other furniture. We also updated the lights above the pictures, replaced two side tables with green beanbags, and moved tables and chairs to give room for two extra beanbags.

One Community is sustainability role modeling 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:
This week the core team continued writing the behind-the-scenes narrative and detailed food rollout plan. After reviewing and assessing more goat videos and articles, and a film on land restoration, we continued revising our goat care and fencing details.

Guy Grossfeld (Graphic Designer) also completed his 14th week working on creating an open source icon and symbol set for our permaculture designs. Draft 1 is now complete and final edits are all that remains for these.
One Community is building the foundations for how humanity creates a sustainable world 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:
