Solution Based Thinking: SEGO Center City Hub Update

SEGO Center City Hub Update including the newest 3D renderings, updated CAD export, and details on what we're working on this week and a new open source engineering educational resource and tutorial coming:

Solution Based Thinking: SEGO Center City Hub Update

The SEGO Center City Hub is solution based thinking approach to spreading sustainability and starting  comprehensive sustainable communities, villages, and cities all over the world. This component of One Community as a duplicable teacher/demonstration community, village, and city model is purposed to provide an open source and replicable city center, demonstrate cutting-edge sustainability, to function as a community, village, or city recreation center, dining hall, and laundry facility, and to offer a green-luxury option to donors, major eco-investors, VIPs, or anyone else that might not feel like they are initially ready to stay in one of our earthbag or straw bale hand-constructed homes. Because it replaces individual kitchens, laundry rooms, and living rooms for residents, the SEGO Center also saves significant resources.

Families with Children at One Community

One Community values the collaborative and cooperative environment created by working and living as a family and we feel extending the family spirit to include all members of One Community, and ultimately all members of the entire human organism, supports happier people and the creation of a better future for the planet. We see every person, regardless of age, playing a crucial role in shaping the One Community environment and we have specifically designed the One Community education program, holistic recreation model, daily living, and construction plans with families in mind.

This week we will start posting and sharing some of the results of months of work on the One Community open source and free-shared Education For Life program designed for all ages. As part of this we are happy to announce that we've completed the additional application guidelines and requests for parents and their children who may wish to be a part of this education pilot program as it evolves and develops on the property.

Here are the newly created pages:

The Importance of Financial Stability for One Community Pioneers and Our Global Goals

The Importance of Financial Stability for One Community Pioneers and Our Global Goals

While it doesn’t cost anything to join or be a part of the One Community Pioneer Team, individual financial stability is important to our global goals and our desire to form a team thinking, creating, and living for The Highest Good of All. Our entire model is designed around building One Community as an open source prototype for self-sufficient teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities that create abundance, self-sufficiency, and frees people from the financial scarcity that we feel limits humanity’s inherent desire to want to help each other. This new page details the importance of individual financial stability in relation to these goals.

International Sustainable Development

Another completed page on our swiftly developing overview site. This page outlines the One Community model for international sustainable development that anyone can participate in. Our goal is global transformation and the creation of a new Golden Age of global cooperation, collaboration, innovation, creativity, and peace.

Open Source Aquaponics/Aquapini Development Update

Over two years of planning and collaboration on our open source designs for aquaponics/aquapini sustainable food systems are finally at the point where we are drawing up architectural plans! Huge gratitude goes out to the massive investment of time by our primary aquaponics consultant Avery (Aquaponics Specialist and owner/operator of Integrated Aquaponics) and previous Pioneer Dave Jones who have done the most to get us to the point we are at now.

Village Development Plan Open Source Infrastructure Update

Our open source village development plan continues to move forward. We made significant progress last week on the Pod 1 Tropical Dome graywater processing plans that are now complete to the point of a 60-page document outlining the design, permitting, and use of the graywater system that we can now start detailing for the tropical dome specific designs. We also started 3D renderings of the SEGO Center City Hub and completed  what we hope will be the final necessary drawing to now create architectural plans for the aquapini sustainable food infrastructure designs.

For The Highest Good of All

We feel humanity has progressed to the point where we are ready for the next big step forward in the ever evolving human story. One Community is facilitating this with a philosophy we call designing, sharing, and building for The Highest Good of All. Our path to accomplishing this is comprehensive sustainability that addresses all aspects of the human experience and open source free-sharing of how to duplicated everything we do. We believe if we make it compelling enough, easy enough to duplicate, and readily available that we will see exponential growth of self-sufficient teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities all across the planet teaching others how to build self-sufficient teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities too. It is our belief that this has the potential to create a new Golden Age of cooperation, collaboration, innovation, creativity, fair sharing and provision of resources, and peace for all people, everywhere.

One Community Welcomes Luis Rincon to the SEGO Center City Hub Infrastructure Team

One Community is happy to welcome Civil Engineer Luis Rincon to the SEGO Center City Hub team. Luis is a Civil Engineering graduate from California State University with a minor in Psychology. Coming from a family of farmers greatly influenced and shaped Luis' beliefs of shared responsibility for the common good. Because of his care for others, he began school majoring in Psychology, completed his AA, and then decided to focus on his academic strength in math and receiving his Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering in 2012. Luis believes strongly in sustainable living facilitated by ingenious designs as a path to reduced consumption and this, combined with our shared values of open source contribution and educating others, is what has led Luis to volunteer his knowledge and passion to the engineering aspects of the SEGO Center.

One Community Featured on The Bridge with Jim Hamell to Discuss Open Source Sustainability

Jae Sabol, the Executive Director of the One Community Non-profit Organization, was interviewed by Jim Hamell for The Bridge last week to discuss open source sustainability and One Community’s part in the global open source and free-sharing movement. Topics of discussion included some of the things we are working on right now,converting the whole planet over to a collaboration of sustainable and open source communities, villages, and cities working together, solution based thinking and how it relates to both evolution and the scientific method, and how open source transcends political ideology.

Jae's interview is the first of the two interviews and is about 25 minutes long.
