One Community Welcomes the Build Hybrid Communities and Towns Now Group to Our Partner Team

One Community is happy to welcome Build Hybrid Communities and Towns Now as our most recent partner! Build Hybrid Communities and Towns Now is a group working on bridging to a RBE (Resource Based Economy) from the current system. In the Hybrid Communities and Towns no money will be used between working members, money is only used to buy and pay for absolutely needed items from/in the current money system. There is co-op ownership of businesses and residential properties for members to work and live in. The plan is that each member works just 20 hours a week in the co-op businesses and in return receives free rent, free utilities, free food, free local transportation, and other free benefits needed to live happily. The purpose of this model is to show others a better way of life now to gain the necessary support of enough people to transition the whole world to RBE.

Stewards of the Earth: One Community Open Source Progress Update XV - Building The Future We Want

We are bringing together the stewards of the earth to create a path to earth stewardship for anyone who wants it. Our path to accomplishing this is by operating as a for The Highest Good of All 501(c)3 non-profit organization and open source free-sharing everything needed so people interested in participating in stewardship and transformational global change can do so anywhere in the world. We are doing this in the form of seven comprehensive sustainability village models that provide what we feel most people will consider to be a more fulfilled way of living. The components of these models will be able to be duplicated modularly or as complete and self-propagating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities that are not only model solutions, but solution-creating models that provide even more research, blueprints, and necessary support for successively easier and more affordable and creative duplication everywhere.

Creating a World for The Highest Good of All

One Community is based on a Highest Good of All approach, which means all choices are made in a stewardship mindset of moving forward with what we feel is in the best interest of each other, all people, and the planet. We are applying this approach to the creation of blueprints and working models for all aspects of a duplicatable mini-society. We recognize our approach is only one way, not the way, and are designing everything to make adaptation easy to unique/varying needs.We believe our Highest Good of All mindset and approach combined with the blueprints we are creating will help to pave the way to a new age of happiness and collaborative co-existence for all of humanity.

Water Collection off the Complete Earthbag Village Calculations are Done!

We just added all the details for water catchment for the complete earthbag village to our open source water harvesting and catchment hub! Check it out! http://www.onecommunityglobal.org/water-conservation/ For anyone that would like to help us there is 1 HUGE way we could also use your assistance right now and that is by sharing and/or liking our three new investor pages: http://www.onecommunityglobal.org/funding-overview-page/ http://www.onecommunityglobal.org/funding-property-page/ http://www.onecommunityglobal.org/funding/ This is especially important to us at this moment in time because in transferring our entire site to our new "global" URL we lost ALL of our "social media love" in the form of likes and shares (some pages had over 200). These numbers were all reset to "0" when we moved the site and we'd really like to get these numbers back up to show the people we are engaging related to funding that there is public interest and support for what we are doing.

Project Venus: One Community and Creating The Venus Project

The Venus Project envisions a working utopian planet functioning for The Highest Good of All and we see no higher service than to help create this. To function as a viable path to The Venus Project, One Community's goal is open source project-launch blueprinting and free-sharing everything needed for the building of self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities all over the world to inspire people and teach them what is possible. We believe our success, just as The Venus Project envisions, has the potential to create a new era of cooperation, collaboration, innovation, creativity, sustainability, and increased peace and happiness for all of humanity.
