Earthbag Sustainable House Design and Village Model Update

Our sustainable house designs and village model focusing on open source project-launch blueprinting earthbag home construction for under $1,500 continue to evolve. We've had to rethink the layout due to the development and 20' diameter growth of the Tropical Atrium as well as conversations with the county that have led to a much more eco-friendly vermiculture bathroom design and communal shower setup. In accordance with our four-phase global change strategy, our goal with this village model is to open source project-launch blueprint this the Earthbag Village (Pod 1) as a demonstration of over 60 different artistic iterations of maximally affordable earthbag sustainable house designs. We will be showcasing this as an beautiful, durable, easy to build, and completely ecologically friendly and sustainable home model that can be constructed for around $1000 per structure from materials that can be locally sourced or easily and affordably shipped anywhere in the world for a total cost of le

New Free-shared Education Page: Interconnectedness Between People and All Other Things Curriculum

This new page outlines teaching curriculum ideas for Interconnectedness between people and all other things as elements of the "Caring" category of the Curriculum for Life component of the open source Education for Life Program. This curriculum is meant as a globally collaborative and ever-expanding archive of ideas to be combined with the Teaching Strategies for Life component, and Learning Tools and Toys for Life component, to create endless Lesson Plans for Life purposed to grow and evolve what we feel will be the most comprehensive, effective, and diversely applicable free-education program and open source and free-shared project-launch usable education blueprint in the world.

Open Source and Free-shared Education for Life and the Carl Orff Schulwerk Method

The Carl Orff Schulwerk Method combines music, movement, drama, and speech into lessons that are similar to a child’s world of play. The Orff approach is just one of the many systems we have researched to create the Education for Life Program and this page is meant to function as an ever-expanding archive of open source, free-shared, and duplicable Carl Orff Schulwerk Method inspired ideas for evolving education. As this page continues to expand we also organize all the ideas into the primary components of the One Community Education Program: Curriculum for Life, Teaching Strategies for Life, Teaching Tools for Life, and building The Ultimate Classroom.

New Open Source Portal: The One Community Tropical Atrium

This page is the One Community open source project-launch blueprinting portal for the Tropical Atrium. Our goal here is to create an aesthetically pleasing and functional multi-purpose facility that will serve as a tropical fruit demonstration project combined with multi-purpose passive recreational use that will easily invite members of the community to want to spend time in such a space. Additionally, as is the theme for the Earthbag Village (Pod 1), the cost will be inexpensive in relation to its size and we will be able to adapt this space to the unknown inconsistencies of varying degrees of heat, cold, humidity, and light, while utilizing greywater for watering of the plants.
