Creating a Global Sustainability Solution

The time has come for a solution versus a bandage for the pressing issues of today’s world. Right now over 40,000 people each day starve to death, 1.6 billion people (1/4th of humanity) are without electricity, and over 100 million people worldwide are without a home. One Community is providing a solution to this in the form of a comprehensive model that addresses all of these problems simultaneously. This comprehensive (versus individual) approach is foundational to creating the global sustainability solution capable of transforming our planet in the way that is needed to benefit everyone, everywhere.

Rebuilding the World: One Community Weekly Progress Update #26

One Community is designing and open source free-sharing plans capable of rebuilding the world in a way that works and supports everyone. To accomplish this we are creating what is necessary to establish self-replicating sustainable teacher/demonstration hubs that build, teach, and comprehensively address food, energy, housing, education, social injustice and inequality, and more. They also provide a more fulfilling lifestyle that is foundational to helping this model spread globally. This is our weekly progress update (#26) covering One Community’s progress and accomplishments for the week of August 19, 2013

Imagine Life Where You Never Have to Work a Traditional Job Again

Hey Team! We just updated our Community Contribution page that explains how a sustainable community model can provide an environment where nobody ever has to work a regular job. We feel this is one of the biggest benefits most people are seeking from a sustainable lifestyle. Our organization is also really focused on showcasing this as a path to engaging a broader audience in wanting and investing in sustainable infrastructure. Something of note that isn't included in our page is that true projections show it would really only take about 20 hours a week to keep everything operating once the foundational infrastructure is in place. In our case, however, we are seeking those who enjoy contribution and the process of making a difference enough to commit to a 40-hour model long-term as the extra 20 hours will be invested in on-going open source creation and sharing- a process our organization is purposed to engage in and lead indefinitely.

Partnering With One Community

One Community Residency Timeline

This page is the 5+ year projection page for residency and traffic at One Community. If a person or family volunteers for eighteen months with our non-profit organization they will own a 99 year lease on one structure they helped build at One Community. They can continue to volunteer with us and live in this structure, upgrading it as we build new structures, or they can leave and we will rent it to visitors as an income property based on our entrepreneurial model.

One Community Rental Revenue Projections

Here's one way to spread sustainable ideas while addressing personal financial needs through a financially viable sustainable communities model. While there is a significant movement happening to move people away from the monetary system completely, computers, machinery, raw materials, insurance, etc. are items that still need to be purchased for the foreseeable future. There is also the issue of (most) people still having significant debt that they need to address. One Community addresses this with an eco-tourism resort model that shares the sustainable community concept while offering significant value. The model is also duplicable.
