Implementing Global Transformation – One Community Weekly Progress Update #38

One Community is designing and implementing a detailed and self-replicating plan for global transformation. We are bringing together the people who want to help us and creating detailed open source blueprints and a self-replicating starting point to reinvent the world as a cooperative of open source sustainable civilizations collaborating for The Highest Good of All to solve the challenges of our generation and all generations to come. Designed as a “solution to everything,” our initial focuses include Highest Good approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit business design, social architecture, fulfilled living, stewardship practices and more. Putting these together comprehensively and simultaneously to addresses the foundations of all aspects of the human experience is important because we see these as an interconnected and interdependent whole capable of positively and permanently transforming the world for everyone and everything here.

5-Year Plan for Jumpstarting Global Transformation

5 year plan for jumpstarting global transformation to a sustainable planet of people living and creating for The Highest Good of All. One Community is about moving beyond a model solution by building a solution creating model. This means a regenerative and better long-term approach to sustainable world development because One Community is not designed as just one solution, but rather as a creator of modular sustainability components and solutions. One Community and our duplicable model and free blueprints include everything from sustainable food, sustainable energy, and sustainable and duplicable eco-housing, to recreation, education, fulfilled living practices, and social architecture. While anything after five years is pure speculation, we believe that if we make each piece of One Community easy to duplicate, free to access, and well-known, people will follow our lead and start to build their own prototype infrastructures and establish a sustainable world model founded on...

Results of 30 Hours of Researching Water Saving Shower Heads

A shower is an important part of almost every person’s day, so we spent over 30 hours researching water-saving shower heads. Reviews, however, are always mixed and we see the One Community environment as arguably the best place possible for reviewing products like this because the environment is so collaborative and eco-focused. For this reason, we will be testing and open source sharing our experience with all the above shower heads that our research identified were the best of the best. We will evolve this page with those details and use what we learn in our purchasing decisions as we build the 7 sustainable village models.

Creating Global Sustainability for The Highest Good of All: Open Source | Non-profit | Self-replicating

Redesigned and simplified page: "One Community is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is taking a comprehensive approach to maximize the ease of replicating sustainable living and the number of people that can access it. Our collaborative approach engages all demographics and creates new ways to live a more fulfilled life in every way. Every component is open source and can be built modularly, which removes the barriers for duplication while we expand our global network of sharing and creating even more for The Highest Good of All. We are comprehensively and simultaneously addressing food, energy, construction, fulfilled living, adult and child education models, social architecture, sustainable and ethical business practices, and thinking and creating for The Highest Good of All because we see these thing as interconnected and essential to address as a group if a globally transformational solution is to be successful."

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.

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.

Facilitating The Evolution of Sustainability: One Community Weekly Update Blog XIV

One Community is a for The Highest Good of All 501(c)3 non-profit organization designing and open source free-sharing everything needed so people interested in participating in an evolution of sustainability and transformational world change can do so anywhere in the world.

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.
