Addressing the complete living experience with open source and Highest Good economic models, fulfilled living models, and models for taking care of our shared planet can create this as an evolution of sustainability that provides more of the living style people want while also regenerating our planet and teaching others how to live this way too.

One Community is forwarding widespread and lasting living-style reform 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 last week the core team finished the complete yellow ring of the Technology and Innovation Molecule graphic, which you can see here. This brings us to 40% complete with this image.
Behind the scenes we also finished brainstorming the bullet points for the Technology and Innovation sections of green, yellow, and about 50% of violet.
In addition to this we finished the first 50% of the “Human Body” themed lesson plan webpage. You can see this here showing the first half of the associated lessons that teach all subjects, to any learning level, in any learning environment using the central theme of “The Human Body.”
Behind the scenes, we finished the next 45% of the next lesson plan we’re working on with the central theme of “Civilization.” This bring us to 55% complete with this lesson plan.
One Community is forwarding widespread and lasting living-style reform 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 last week the core team researched and added two resources sections to the open source melons hub, the open source parsnips hub, and the open source parsley hub:
In addition to this, and behind the scenes, Sandra Sellani (Vegan Chef and author of What’s Your QB?) outlined the first draft you can see here of 5 weeks of the menus she is designing for the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan that is also part of the upcoming crowdfunding campaign:
One Community is forwarding widespread and lasting living-style reform 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 last week the core team created the Cob Village open source hub featuring the beautiful concept designs of Architect and Water Color Artist, Douglas Simms Stenhouse! You can see this new page and all of Doug’s amazing designs here:
We also updated the Highest Good housing hub overview image and description for the Cob Village section:
For the Earthbag Village, we continued laying out the specifics for the Open Source Murphy bed furniture assembly details behind the scenes. This included cutting lumber and labeling pieces for the under-loft top, and assembling the top under-loft part and attaching it to the frame. What you see here is all this behind-the-scenes work-in-progress. We estimate we are now 40% complete with what is needed for the website.

Also behind the scenes we finished another 30% of the earthdome window and door framing reformatting details needed before moving these specifics to the website. This brings us to 75% complete with this work.
We also updated all the images on the crowdfunding campaign overview page. You can see these updates here including the header, bathroom designs, and Murphy bed design images in both 3-D and CAD:
In addition to this, we started moving the amazing work and calculation details from Samuel Soroaster (Permaculturalist and sustainable designer from Green New World) onto the eco-bathroom and shower open source hub. You can see these new details here that we’d say encompass about 10% of the immense body of work and detail Samuel has completed over the past couple of months working with us:
Dave Walen (Architectural Drafter & Designer and owner of Dave Philip Walen Design) also completed these additions to the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2) central social space design that includes adjustments to the layouts, increased used of straw bales for this part of the construction, and a new roof design:

This last week the core team updated the open source pool and spa page with all the additional details here from Jennifer Engelmeier, (Eco-pool and Spa Specialist and founder of www.LoveYourNaturalPool.com) and Rick Ruggles, Swimming Pool Equipment and Health Consultant with Hayward Pool Products:
One Community is forwarding widespread and lasting living-style reform through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:
This last week the core team created new social media imagery and updated and featured our Communication page that teaches how we use this value in our decision making process and global change approach. We also did this for our Dreams Lesson Plan page that provides a structure for teaching all subjects, to all learning levels, in any environment, using the central theme of dreams. And we did this for our Sovereignism page that discusses our idea of a political and social structure designed to encourage and support the self-creation and sustainability of liberty and freedom for all people individually, governmentally, economically, and culturally.
In addition to these, we also added the list you see here to the page we’re developing to promote Tsu. This list features forward-thinking and progressive pages we’ve run across on Tsu, our favorite new social media network.
And, last but not least, we updated our consensus page to include a two-step provision addressing the possibility when a very small minority (less than 10%) may choose to block the much larger consensus of the group. Read the page to see how we did this while maintaining our commitment to full consensus and the complete consensus process.
