Sustainable Eco-Community Replication – One Community Weekly Progress Update #130

Global sustainable eco-community replication will happen the moment it is demonstrated as easy enough, affordable enough, and attractive enough to gain mainstream support. Open source solutions combining sustainable models for food, energy, and housing that allow for new models of fulfilled living, education, sustainable economics and earth stewardship could be the key. Putting these together as self-replicating teacher/demonstration hubs is what One Community calls 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’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 September 20th, 2015 edition (#130) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments:

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating sustainable eco-community replication 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 final 25% of the written content for the Social Relationships Lesson Plan to the website bringing that to 100% complete, as you see here:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating sustainable eco-community replication 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 the final social media imagery and featured our open source mashua hub:

One Community is facilitating sustainable eco-community replication 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 continued what we hope will be the final revision of the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This week included adding geotextile fabric and perforated corrugated pipe descriptions, re-calculating lengths of geotextile and polyethylene, altering the water collection gutter with additional stucco and dropping the polyethylene barrier down one more bag on the interior wall, plus rewriting the sequence of steps for foundation and stem buttress and earthbag walls. We’d say we’re now 25% complete with this behind-the-scenes revision.

We also updated the earthbag village eco-toilet and shower page with the 3-D interactives from Gilberto Martini de Oliveira (3D Animation Designer) and other edits… all part of a much larger update that we’d say we’re now about 15% done with.

This week the core team continued updating the Sketchup 3-D for the Duplicable City Center. This week we worked on the bathrooms next to the elevator, redid the stairs and rails for the elevator area, and made corrections to the 1st and 4th floor structure around the stairs area. We’d say we’re now 50% complete with the total 3-D update.
