Widespread and Lasting Sustainability Implementation – One Community Weekly Progress Update #154

Widespread and lasting sustainability implementation is needed if we are to create a sustainable world. Open source and free-sharing complete sustainable villages that include food, energy, housing, education, economics, and more is one way to facilitate this. 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 facilitating widespread and lasting sustainability 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 25% of the written content for the Cooperation and Collaboration Lesson Plan to the website, as you see here. This lesson plan is purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment, using the central theme of “Cooperation and Collaboration” is now 100% completely on our website.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating widespread and lasting sustainability 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 added a new recipe for granola to the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page. This recipe was contributed by Naturopathic Doctor Matt Marturano (creator of the COHERENT model for comprehensive digestive health).

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating widespread and lasting sustainability 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
    • Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This last week the core team put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week’s focus was finishing a huge update of the AutoCAD for the footer, foundation and flooring and updates to section 11 and 12 steps of the content rewrite, both of which can be seen in this image. We’d say we are now 71% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes.

Working on the Tree House Village (Pod 7) with Jesika Rohrbach (Architectural Drafter, Designer, and 3-D Modeler), we also began exploring different designs for the patios and walkways for the different tree house recreation space layouts. You can see the different options Jesika created here.

One Community is facilitating widespread and lasting sustainability 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 week the core team continued working on the renders for the Duplicable City Center. What you see here are the second-floor Dining Dome renders with additional table lights, flooring, and progress on the shadows, windows and spotlights.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating widespread and lasting sustainability implementation 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:

    • Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship

This last week the core team continued working on a complete update of the One Community Business plan. What you see here is our 5th week of reformatting the plan on a GoogleDoc for easier collaboration and sharing. We’d say we are about 30% done with the complete rewrite and update.
