10 Community Problems and 10 Solutions
We present here 10 community problems and 10 solutions. They cover food, energy, housing, social, education, economics, transportation, and more. We all live and interact in communities of various sizes. Our towns and cities are the communities most people think of, but we also work in communities, go to school and/or take our kids to schools that have their own community structures, and we usually belong to various social and recreational communities too. As a person and parent living on this planet of finite resources, I鈥檓 very focused on solutions and approaches that make our communities more sustainable. As the Director of the One Community Global nonprofit, I鈥檓 also interested in community solutions that can be applied globally. With this in mind, here are 10 common community problems and 10 solutions. If you’d like information on how One Community is integrating these into ultra-sustainable communities that will function as self-sufficient and self-replicating teacher/demonstration hubs, click the related icons. FOOD SOLUTIONS
Duplicable food infrastructure designed to produce food that is grown on-site. Food grown this way will be fresher and can be produced without pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. In addition, it will be more diverse than what people find in the grocery store because it is grown as part of our open source botanical garden model. ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Duplicable energy infrastructure including solar, wind, and hydro to help people eliminate their power bills and be a source of revenue for those still connected to the grid. Also, built to evolve and grow with the evolution and expansion of new technologies too. HOUSING SOLUTIONS

Duplicable education models designed for all ages, built to exceed traditional educational standards, and modifiable for application in a homeschooling environment, a traditional schooling environment, or for use as a complete community-based private schooling program. SOCIAL/RECREATIONAL SOLUTIONS
Duplicable social architecture and recreation models built within “True Community” and designed to provide a more enriching and fulfilling living experience. All on-site, freely available, and providing more activity diversity than most metropolitan areas. SUSTAINABLE ECONOMICS
Duplicable for-profit and non-profit business infrastructure that prioritizes cooperation and collaboration over competition. Resource based economy application and a model for sharing it globally. STEWARDSHIP SOLUTIONS
Duplicable “Highest Good” approaches to all aspects of life. This includes community and individually applicable lifestyle considerations and small and large-scale recycling, reuse, and repurposing options for all areas: paper, plastic, glass, polystyrene/styrofoam, clothing/cloth, food and other perishable items, and even non-recyclables. TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS Transportation is another common community challenge. It includes cost of ownership and maintenance, parking and other space needs, and vehicle contributions to the climate crisis. Co-ownership, ride sharing, alternative transportation (bike, scooter, moped, etc.), and public transportation are all common solutions to this. The larger the community participating, the more effective and convenient these solutions all are. LARGE-SCALE APPLICATIONS FOR GLOBAL CHANGEDIY duplicable housing infrastructure designed to demonstrate community and localized living with almost everything a person needs or would want within walking distance. Models like these will eliminate the need for regular car use, but everyone will still have access to a car anytime they need or want one. VALUES DIFFERENCES Values differences are arguably the most destructive community challenge. Religion, politics, lifestyle preferences, dietary preferences, how to raise kids, pets, etc. can all be areas where people passionately differ in their opinions and perspectives. If unresolvable conflicts are arising, your values differences may not be sustainable. One way to address this is to choose to focus on the areas you agree. A second way is to be more transparent with your values and primarily build community with others who share them. LARGE-SCALE APPLICATIONS FOR GLOBAL CHANGEDuplicable and adaptable values structures based on compassion, kindness, and what we call living and creating for “The Highest Good of All.”
GLOBAL IMPLEMENTATION Almost everyone can look at the list above and see something they would like to implement but find really challenging. Some would even like to implement all of these ideas, but how? Local, national, and global communities are the answer. Groups of people will find it easier to implement these solutions, even the individual ones. Find a group or start one, there are so many resources out there and every action makes a difference. The bigger the community, the bigger the difference. Click these icons if you’d like to learn more about our community: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
