Sustainably Addressing Humanity’s Foundations – One Community Weekly Progress Update #137

Sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations is essential if a sustainable world is to be created. To do this, a holistic solution-set needs to be created that will combine physical sustainability (food, energy, and housing) and emotional sustainability (fulfilled living, education, sustainable economics and earth stewardship) to provide a better way of life that people can replicate and share. We call 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 sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations 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 first 50% of the written content for the Energy Lesson Plan to the website, as you see here. This lesson plan purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment, using the central theme of “Energy” is now 50% complete on our website.

Behind the scenes, we also wrote the first 1/3 of the Sustainability Lesson Plan, bringing the behind-the-scenes written part for that to about 35% complete:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations 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 completed an additional 10% on the organizing and editing of a more streamlined version of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page and added some of the calculations that Dr. Matt Marturano provided on how much food we will need. We are now approximately 20% complete with the behind-the-scenes remodeling of that page.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is sustainably addressing humanity’s foundations 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:
