Systems for Eco-Freedom – One Community Weekly Progress Update #233

Systems for eco-freedom are also systems for creating global sustainability. These systems are about freedom through replicable and do-it-yourself models for foodenergy, and housing self-sufficiency and sustainability. One Community is also designing them to cover educationfor-profit and non-profit economic designsocial architecturefulfilled living practices, and global stewardship models. Combined, we call this living and creating for The Highest Good of All.

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is creating systems for eco-freedom 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:

This week the core team continued Sketchup design for the open source outdoor areas of the Recycled Materials Village (Pod 6). We completed the table with benches by adding flower boxes on each side, support rails underneath the tables, and backs to the benches. We also designed a single-person cable spoon bench, set up the library outside furniture layer, and placed plants around the library area.
