The Solution for Everything - One Community Weekly Progress Update #33

The Solution for Everything - One Community Weekly Progress Update #33

One Community is creating the solution for everything. We define this as a sustainable civilization that completely meets the needs of all people and life on this planet while regeneratively and proactively giving more than it takes. We are a Highest Good of All organization creating the open source and free-shared blueprints to define and demonstrate a civilization like this by building the starting point as One Community. One Community will be the model to spread this Highest Good civilization concept as the first of many self-sufficient and self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities purposed to help teach and share the key foundations of what is needed to simultaneously and comprehensively address all the issues our species is currently struggling with. Our comprehensive sustainability approach is doing this by providing duplicable, ethical, and Highest Good approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit business design, social architecture and fulfilled living, stewardship practices, and more. This is our weekly progress update (#33) covering our team‘s accomplishments for the week of October 7, 2013.

Creating a World that Works for Everyone

One Community is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization designing open source blueprints, tools, tutorials, and resources for building 7 complete sustainable village models. These villages are part of our 4-phase strategyfor creating solution models that create solution-creating models and we are seeking people who’d like tojoin us. We have thousands of hours already invested and completing the 3D work is one of the final steps to actually building One Community: the launch-point from which we will globally share, promote, and distribute everything we create even more as complete do-it-yourself multi-media instruction manuals and tutorials purposed for mass duplication and positively and permanently improving life on this planet for everyone and everything.

DivaCup Brand Reusable Menstrual Cups

Menstrual cups offer a sustainable solution to the way women’s monthly flow had most commonly been handled, which was either by using disposable tampons or disposable pads. With the common and repetitive use of disposables, countless disposable tampons, pads, and their packaging are flushed and put into landfills. Most people don’t think about it and advertisers of the products even boast an “out of sight and out of mind” mentality. But the reality is these products are far from “out of sight”. They can be seen everywhere – in our landfills, washing up in our coast lines, our bathroom garbage cans, and traces of it may even be on or in your body! Not only that, but did you know menstrual cups and reusable tampons and pads:
  • Are free of the additives in most disposable tampons & pads which can be harmful to the body.
  • Don’t contain the polyethylene plastic in disposable pads, production of which is a pollutant.
  • Are free of the by-product of the tampon bleaching process which contains a known carcinogen.
  • Don’t use synthetic fiber rayon which may leave a residue on women that can lead to infection.
  • Unlike disposables, reusables don’t contribute to pollution leaching into groundwater, streams, & lakes.

Enviroartistic Design

The existing model for the most opulent of homes brings together a group of skilled people to design a work of art that suits the desires of its future inhabitants; One Community is using the same approach but with a community focus. The end results is an entire village and city model as a work of art, from our food production structures to our homes – each piece designed to demonstrate and reflect the creativity and desires of the group while supporting our non-profit open source green community goals.
