Helping One Community
Just 200 people taking less than 30 minutes CAN change the future; this page will tell you how. Too much reading? Rather help immediately without digging into the details? We are supporting all aspects of the sustainability/alternative energy/eco-construction/organic food/ethosolutions/Celebration of Life movements and making it as easy as possible for everyone to help out in the way that works best for you with anything from 30 seconds to 30 minutes of participation.

How this helps: One Community is focused on forwarding the entire sustainability movement and can help a lot of people, and anyone can help One Community if they know we exist. Help the people YOU know learn more about us and what is happening with this movement so they can join whatever part of world change feels best to them.

How this helps: These are the two most popular social media sites and we use facebook to share powerful and inspirational pieces on all aspects of sustainability to act as a simple and on-going goto place for people to help spread these ideas with an easy “share” or “like”; we use Twitter to do the same. We also use both sites to share key developments with One Community.

Copy and past the link to this page, or any One Community page, into an e-mail and send it to ten people you think might be interested.
How this helps: Our ultimate goal is to make sustainability mainstream and help as many people as possible – the more people know about One Community and these goals the more people we can help and the faster we can create global change. Taking 3 minutes to do just those three things is HUGE in moving all of this forward by sharing everything we are up to.

IF YOU HAVE 30 MINUTES READ THIS
We are creating a group of 300 people willing to commit to a one time investment of 30 minutes to do something magical and here’s how it will work: As soon as we have 300 people we will send out an e-mail (bcc’d so everyone’s information is confidential) with a set of directions to create a viral movement on all of the major social networks listed above. This e-mail will contain detailed instructions and the links to comprehensive resource and information pages on the following 4 areas of sustainability: food, energy, construction, and community/global change.
In one coordinated burst of support across all 6 platforms (taking less than 30 minutes of any on person’s time) we will “like” “tweet” and “up-vote” these topics to “trend” them – creating exposure to literally hundreds of thousands of new people interested in these topics; tracking the results and creating a set of tutorials and resources for others to follow and learn from while simultaneously making a HUGE leap forward for the sustainability and ecological living movement as a whole. This will be a one-time deal so send us an e-mail to be put on the list for the launch as soon as we have 300 people.
FAQ: Why 300 when the top of the page says 200?
Answer: Because we are accounting for a 30% lack of participation when the time actually comes and we’ve calculated that 200 is what is really necessary to create the desired affect. More is better but a minimum of 200 people participating is what we need.
TWO VERY COOL VIDEOS ON WHY NOW IS THE TIME FOR THIS:
TONS MORE DETAILS…
In our experience people fall into four groups when they hear about exactly what we are creating and how we are making a difference:
The “Show Me Group” : This is the majority of people; they are curious, supportive, and want to watch the progress of historic movements but don’t want to really get involved until it’s already up and thriving. If this is you, THANK YOU! Every person who is even curious is essential to future change and the success of forward thinking projects like One Community. Keeping informed with our progress, and the progress of the sustainability movement as a whole, is as easy as joining our Facebook Fan Page or our Twitter feed. And the difference between 100 people, 200 people, or 2000 people expressing interest in the ideas of a more ecological and sustainable future can be the difference between an investor or technology partner saying “yes” or “no” so your following our progress is HUGE.
The “Activist Group” : This is the second largest group of people; this group is committed to “being the change they wish to see in the world” and making a difference even when the odds often seem insurmountable. It is people like this that are standing up against oppressive regimes around the world right now, writing their congress persons, circulating and signing petitions, standing on principle, and the singular most important people to the One Community Project at this stage. It is YOU that take the time to get the information out to the masses that don’t just want it, but NEED IT, and often don’t know where to find it.
The Activist Group are people that know change is possible and the great feeling that comes from being able to say “I was part of that movement” BEFORE it became mainstream; I’M part of the reason the dangers of this or that product were exposed, or that legislation was passed, or people started supporting this or that cause! You are the people that have probably already taken the actions the “Show Me Group” feels comfortable with and recognize enough of what projects like this mean to the world to consider wanting to do more. If this is true for you, you and just 199 other people are who we are looking for (click here to help) and we can’t even begin to describe the difference we are capable of making when we stand together.
The “It’s a !!CULT!! Group” : The third group of people are the “It’s a Cult” group. This group is about the same size as the Sovereignty Group (see below), usually skeptics about most things, proud of their discerning nature, and the last people to support any cause that doesn’t already fit into their model of what is possible. Once this group’s mind is made up they typically won’t research any farther and are happy to be surprised when what they thought would surely fail proves successful, maintaining that caution remains the best course of action and pointing to a failure to balance every success.
Surprising to many is that this group also plays a key part in the success of something like One Community because it is their opposition/cynicism/pessimism/doubt/etc. that generates the “hard questions” that need to be answered but are often left unasked by the Show Me Group. It is these brave souls that make us think harder, answer more confidently, and drive the WATCH US mentality that creates greatness and keeps many motivated.
The “Sovereignty Group” : The Sovereignty Group are people focused on freedom and the expression, creativity, and joy that come from living the way you want to rather than the way you have to. They are innovators, leaders, Wayseers (see below), pioneers, and people hungry for a new way of living based on contribution, compassion, kindness, and love; and fully aware that we as a human species are here to create exactly that because it is not only our purpose but also our destiny. This group is smaller than the first two groups, significantly larger than the third group, and growing quickly as people from the Show Me Group actually see the change they are waiting for happening, and people from the Activist Group realize that rather than change the current paradigm, they want to make it obsolete.
The Sovereignty Group encompasses all the One Community Pioneers and everyone we are partnering with. They are interested in ethosolutions and integrity; investing their time and energy in innovative answers to today’s problems, sustainability and collaboration with like minds. If this is you, you have probably already explored our site and are involved in several forward moving and world changing projects and we’d love to know what they are, help if we can, and have you participate at whatever level works for you with One Community if it resonates.
SO HOW CAN YOU MOST HELP CREATE THIS?
Send us an e-mail to join our 300 Group and help us spread these ideas of freedom, unity, and sustainability when the time comes.
WHAT IS IT?
It is a group of 300 people willing to commit a one-time investment of 30 minutes in creating world change by “trending” or popularizing a series of key pages on the topics of sustainable food production, alternative energy, sustainable construction, and community/world change simultaneously across the top 6 social media networks of facebook, Twitter, Digg, Reddit, YouTube, and StumbleUpon
HOW DOES THIS ACTUALLY HELP?
Sites like Digg and Reddit average over 8 million unique monthly visitors each with front page articles determined by two things: articles a member has shown interest in and the number of interests shown in an article. A specific campaign like this can push ideas to the front page and gain tens of thousands of views from topic relevant people that would otherwise never get exposure to what is being created or the ideas. In short, this is exactly how things become ‘viral’ and world-changing ideas become historical stepping stones to our future.
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
Join the growing list and participate for 30 minutes when we hit 300 people and send out the e-mail.
WHAT IF I DON’T AGREE WITH THE REFERENCED LINK?
Then do nothing or (gasp!) give us a ‘down thumbs’ vote lol. There is no obligation and free speech is a right that should be exercised regularly!
WILL I BE SPAMMING OR GET SPAMMED?
No and No. The sites we are using for our social media movement are specifically designed for sharing information and do not share or use your e-mails – you never get e-mail from facebook and you won’t from Digg, Reddit, YouTube, or the others either. We will blind-copy (BCC) the one e-mail we send out so even members of the group don’t have access to the personal information of other members of the group and the group is organized by one person only – me.
WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND?
Send me an e-mail and I’ll remove you from the list or you can just ignore the one e-mail when it comes. As a computer guy, there is nothing more frustrating to me than getting hundreds of e-mails I don’t want… it is a waste of my time and invasion of my privacy and the last thing I’m going to do is become part of the problem when it is so easy to be part of the solution. Your information is safe.
WHAT IF I WANT TO DO MORE?
There are tons of additional ways to get involved if you want to help this project:
- send us suggested partner ideas
- submit an interest form to become a Community Pioneer
- explore the site and use the “share” button at the bottom of each page to get these ideas into your own social media circles
- write and submit articles about the ideas you find here and link to our site
- talk about us in your blog
And so much more…
The bottom line is change is happening now and every little effort any of us makes to move the world forward is a good move. There are 1000’s of outstanding movements and projects that can benefit from your support… join as many as your time allows and THANK YOU!!
Peace and Love,
The One Community Pioneers
