Sustainable Civilization Design and Implementation – One Community Weekly Progress Update #117

Sustainable civilization design and implementation can be accomplished through open source sustainability components covering and combining food, energy, housing, education, economics, recreation, and stewardship practices. Self-replicating and self-sustainable teacher/demonstration models that make all components easier, more affordable and more attractive to implement can accelerate the process by inspiring and educating people with a complete living model. One Community calls this living and creating for The Highest Good of All:

• 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 WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating sustainable civilization design and implementation 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 second 25% of the content for the Communication lesson plan to the website. This means that this lesson plan, which teaches all subjects, to all learning levels, using the central theme of Communication, is now 50% complete on our website:

Behind the scenes, we wrote the first part  of our lesson plan with the central theme of “Freedom” – which now brings that to 25% complete.

We also finished the next 25% of the image creation for the “Communication” lesson plan mind map, which you can see here, which brings that mindmap to 50% complete:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating sustainable civilization design and implementation 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 inished the final social media imagery and featured our open source potatoes hub:

We also researched and added two additional recipes to the open source peppers hub, which you can see here. More recipes from our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan that feature peppers will be added here in the future:

Added 2 Pepper Recipes – Click to Visit the Open Source Pepper Hub

Last but not least, we added three new recipes from Sandra Sellani (Vegan Chef and author of What’s Your BQ?) to the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan – These recipes are: Coconut Pecan & Apricot Granola, Beet & Asparagus Salad, and Creamy Asparagus Soup. Yum!

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating sustainable civilization design and implementation 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

This last week the core team updated over 40 more images for final instructions of the custom furniture assembly for the Earthbag Village and the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. We also created an additional 24-page “Bed Materials List” document. This brings image review and updates to 100% complete for these instructions.

One Community is facilitating sustainable civilization design and implementation 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 Mayke Balbino (Architecture and Urban Design Student) completed the first outline of the Duplicable City Center time projections spreadsheet:
