This will enable us to form communities with
"NO CENTRAL OWNERS".
which will allow members full control and mobility.

Garden P.O.D's
Garden P.O.D's
"Gardens" are small ideology free intentional communities. These intentional or Sustainable Communities serve multiple functions including immediately consolidating incoming resources & outgoing waste, providing adequate food & shelter to those who lack it, providing income & life skills to those who lack them, informing & educating guests about sustainability, saving people money, replacing rest stops and basically ending so-called homelessness.

Garden P.O.D's
The Places of Dwelling or P.O.D's in these communities would house community members who grow and maintain the communities in exchange for their room & board. These communities would also host travelers and patrons who would utilize ALL of our facilities at half the cost of traditional travel lodging.

Peas in the POD
Peas in the POD
Each PoD is designed to be at the height of extravagant while maintaining a sustainable balance with the community, the environment and the individuals who dwell in them. One kind of PoD available is designed to resemble traditional houses scaled down to size. Another type of P.O.D is a spherical cap (dome) shape. Each of the types of P.O.D’s are designed to optimize efficiency with regard to energy use and distribution.

Externally and structurally each P.O.D includes 2 windows, 1 door, 1 porch 2 chairs 1 small table, 2 solar panels, 2 batteries, planters, rainwater collection, wind turbine (where applicable), patio cover, etc.
Internally each POD includes a Queen size bed (2 twin size beds in children's POD’s), personal items storage, a table and 2 chairs, 1 flatscreen, 1 mini refrigerator, lighting source, crock pot.
Generally, POD-share PoDs would house transitional residents and would therefore be of a standard design with only a small degree of customization.

Communing in these communities (members and non member guests) allows access to natural automatically maintained hydroponically/aquaponically grown fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs with the option for locally sourced fresh meat. We are well aware that this puts us in a precarious position. EvolvingSeeds knows that the correct diet is one that does not include the property of other beings (animals) namely their bodies, and there is no “but” here, we will say “however”. However we are also well aware that so many people are as dedicated to their current animal diet and more importantly their “food system” as they are to the other equally insane institutions.
Our plan is to change the animal food dynamic and the hearts and minds of people by communing more intimately in these communities. By being in close proximity, and by housing guests openly from all over the world, we can lead by example and slowly but surely reduce the amount of meat being consumed by community members, not with force but with valid information and understanding. By utilizing these ancient but state of the art growing methods, we can grow more food, more efficiently and begin to really explore what we can do with plant-based "meats". This refers back to our goal to become the market, currently healthy / plant based vegan foods are purposely and prohibitively expensive. We can use our surplus products and our stores to distribute the rest of our stock back to the current market to drive prices down among our competitors.

There are a myriad of options available to power our lives. These communities will harness state of the art Solar Power and Wind Power (generated from much smaller turbines which are made from recycled materials) Each pod will have its own power source or at least its own backup power source for further energy efficiency and security. Sufficiently powering our homes and the many devices we have adopted into our lives out of necessity or even for convenience is becoming more difficult to afford and is continuing to cause unnecessary environmental stress.
By empowering our own communities we can share the cost so that we can ensure the spoils. Developing and nurturing our understanding of how to design, build and maintain clean energy sources should be one of our first priorities as individuals and as a species. This will allow us the financial leverage to take the “proper” legal action to secure our right to natural communal living. There is no freedom without clean, free energy for all.

Member/ Shareholder/ Employee
Universal Strike Inc. businesses obtain and produce carbon low and/or carbon neutral products and packaging that are completely or predominantly Plant-Based, "0 waste", biodegradable, compostable, recyclable &/or reusable. Universal Strike Inc. provides products and services that are ethical, environmentally and socially responsible, and economically equitable. The scientific method, logic, reason, empathy, Universal Strike Inc. members and the market... (and maybe some A.I) determine membership fees, company prices and practices.
Member/ Shareholder/ Employee

Member/ Shareholder/ Employee
Universal Strike Inc. MEMBERSHIP equates to the title shareholder, stockholder and employee, therefore each member has the option to work at the Universal Strike Inc. businesses that their membership fees make it possible to establish. Working at Universal Strike Inc. companies enables members to earn the money to pay for their membership fee, obtain spending money for personal use, and """"save more money""". Universal Strike Inc. recognizes that the monetary (money) system is still the dominant form of currency in society, therefore Universal Strike Inc. endeavors to transform the market by becoming the market.
Purchase Power
Member/ Shareholder/ Employee
Purchase Power
Membership fees contribute to the purchase/ development/ maintenance of communal land, infrastructure, necessities and luxuries and all associated fees/filings, the development of Universal Strike Inc. ethical businesses such as restaurants, grocery stores, maintenance services, temp services etc. and all associated fees/filings, the purchase/ development/ maintenance of communal transportation and equipment and all fees/filings, and much much more.
Example: Imagine if 90% of Wal-Mart's profits went back to their employees and the communities they were stationed in rather than the Waltons and the shareholders. Imagine if just a portion of the billions this company and companies like it make was allocated to environmental restoration even just local to the store.
Membership Fee
Member/ Shareholder/ Employee
Purchase Power
The Membership fee is determined by Universal Strike Inc. members. Membership fees shall be based on relevant local cost of living data and what is equitable for the environment, the current members, the company, and even potential members. Membership guarantees access to all community assets, features, amenities, options, necessities, resources luxuries and accommodations without restriction except for lack of availability (this does not include personal property or unavailable resources).
Utilizing resources would be organized and operate much like checking out a resource at the Library.

Garden Contributions Part 2
ALL positions within the Universal Strike Inc. franchise are filled by Universal Strike Inc. members. All members are required to follow all Universal Strike Inc. business standards, policies, rules and bylaws while actively filling the position ("clocked-in"). The duration that each member works, fills or satisfies each position is determined by the member (members make their own schedules). Local Universal Strike Inc. market necessities, and the needs of our customers assist us in improving scheduling efficiency.
Garden Contributions Part 2
Garden Contributions Part 2
Garden Contributions Part 2
All members are required to pass an assessment exam to verify that they are able to complete the duties of the position.
- Members who are new to the position are required to attend workshops to teach them the relevant information and knowledge necessary to successfully complete their work.
- Schedules are determined monthly and are verified and updated automatically via e-verify to ensure work stability. Members are not required to leave the position unless they are found to have conducted themselves contrary to Universal Strike Inc. business standards policies and or bylaws.
- Member wages are determined by considering the highest minimum wage available in the country as the standard across all Universal Strike Strike Inc. businesses regardless of location. This means that no matter what the minimum wages are from one place to another, Universal Strike Inc. members receive the same amount and is a higher wage to most members than they would receive from another company in their area. Members' funds would be saved in their Universal Strike Inc. account. Members are able to access their account and at any time automatically take their funds from the account in whole or in part, or transfer their funds to the account of their choice.
- Universal Strike Inc. members are able to notify the system of any duration of vacation time and time off from work. Members are only required to fulfill their contractual and scheduled obligations.
Community Member "Perks"
Garden Contributions Part 2
Community Member "Perks"
Universal Strike Inc. Membership also includes access to financial advisors, auto-mechanics, legal advisors, general laborers and much more. These professionals are compensated by Universal Strike Inc. and are ideally also members. These membership “perks” are included in the Universal Strike Inc. membership with no additional fees.
UNIVERSAL COMMUNITY INCOME
Universal Strike Inc. PROFITS are divided evenly among Universal Strike Inc. members as a "Universal Community Income". At that point their membership fee will be deducted from their refund, (not their personal income) and members will ultimately be paid to be a member. Those profits include income gained from non-members as well as Universal Strike Inc. members which will empower and strengthen each individual revenue stream.
Gardener Contributions
On Site Gardeners
P.O.DShare Gardeners
P.O.DShare Gardeners
On Site Labor Contributors (OS) members receive room, board, and a Universal Community Income to live in and help maintain the community. OS members are a great resource in and of themselves; much of their contributions will involve housekeeping the PODS, preparing and serving food, assisting with special needs guests and residents etc. or work in the associated Universal Strike Inc stores. Living in the community also allows On Site members to facilitate programs that help raise awareness and perpetuate and demonstrate more sustainable living. By offering DIY online classes and hands-on experience with emerging sustainable concepts, visiting members as well as the general public, will gain access to a practical and more intentional lifestyle while reducing the amount of time individuals need to contribute to keep it all going.
P.O.DShare Gardeners
P.O.DShare Gardeners
P.O.DShare Gardeners
POD-share or (PS) Gardeners are members who contribute monetarily (money) from wherever they may live and use the community as a getaway or vacation home anytime they choose. This will enable PS members to have the freedom and luxury of owning a POD-share without the high-end cost or dramatic limitations of the resort style “Time-shares” people are accustomed to but with all of the service and amenities.
PS members may or may not work in the associated Universal Strike Inc. businesses. This is determined by each POD-Share member individually.
Gardener Contributions
Vendor Gardener
Vendor Gardeners contribute by signing up new POD-share members. If a current or prospective member is unable to contribute monetarily or with labor, they can solicit new Time-share members to financially support the community. The time that was spent to secure the new members and their financial contribution covers the monetary contribution of the TS member who signed up the new member (a 2-for-1.)
The Community Center
Community Center
The Community Center is at the heart of any sustainable community. Community is an idea before it is a location. That idea is that as social creatures pursuing happiness, a common ground and space is necessary to connect and communicate. The Community Center serves as a University, clubhouse, recreation center, kitchen, restaurant, meeting hall, gym, theater, laundry facility, hygiene facility, storage etc.
The Community is designed to house the Community Center in the direct center of the property so that everyone and everything is relatively equidistant from the Community Center. Easy access to tools, supplies, and equipment etc. is essential to sharing and utilizing things. The Community Center is where members gather to finalize community decisions, hold meetings, recognize members for achievements, Celebrate etc. The Community Center is where all shared luxuries and many necessities are stored.
Estimate: 1 industrial stove or (sustainable equivalent), 1 “walk-in” freezer or (Sustainable equivalent), 1 refrigerator, 2 microwaves (or not), coffee maker, broiler oven, wok, toaster oven, 2 of every kind of kitchen accessory and utensil, attached pantry, 1 long food prep table,1 giant Flatscreen, 3 large monitors. 1 Xbox, 1 PlayStation, 1 Nintendo Wii U, video projector, 4 desktops, 3 large sofas, several homemade recycled bean bag chairs, 2 fireplaces, 3 small tables for the sofas, Games rack, book shelf, hydration station, One large dinner table shaped like a peace sign where the lines are the rows to be seated at either side of any side of the table, basement for dry storage cleaning supplies etc, herbs and spice greenhouse, mini bar, Outside patio jacuzzi heat lamps and misters, outside shower, indoor swimming pool. Yes if we manage our resources properly (and possibly dig the hole or build it ourselves… we should be able to have a natural pool.
Community Trasporation
Communities will obtain several automobiles to aid communities in carrying out tasks, and connecting the various communities with “free” transportation (Community funded). This will enable us to provide a public service to anyone “headed our way”. Ideally we would want multipurpose automobiles like trucks to maximize efficiency but also maximize carrying capacity while still considering the economic and environmental impact.
Per Community:
- 1 truck
- 1 trailer
- 1 car
- 2 golf carts or off road ATV for community tours and maintenance.
The car would be used for local endeavors and conducting normal business to and from town. The truck would be used to haul things, move things etc according to their applications.
Co->Co->
(Community to Community)
Also communities can facilitate a community to community transit system that enables members to move about their “communities” with more freedom and less burden at no extra cost than their original contribution. They can leave their car at home, or park it at the community and carpool around the country or carpool around town. This is where we really begin to use Communities as they were meant to be used. As interchangeable vacation getaways, nomadic therapy, and sustainable living. For the community to community transit system several 18 passenger vans or shuttle buses would be ideal. Possibly 4, always on the same route, always in rotation. Operating the automobile is a form of contribution. Aiding the automobile operator and the passengers is a form of contribution. Ideally organic community foods could be provided for the trip to exchange among communities as well as well as any other resources applicable (Presently all Automobile operators must have a valid driver's license to operate the automobiles outside of the community.
Innovation
One of the most innovative and groundbreaking features is the ability members have to transition from being a POD-share (PS) member to an On Site (OS) member, and from an OS member to a PS member with only some form of notification and consideration. Consideration is based solely on sustainability and available space. The PS member can use the POD they have been staying in, or if they made this decision from where they live, having vacationed to a community, they can request a more permanent POD.
As a new member, their first job (where interested) is to help build their own POD, or build a replacement POD to replace the POD they would be occupying, and everything that comes with it. This will help facilitate the integration of more sustainable values in people who dwell in the community as they eagerly participate in the manifestation of "their" Place Of Dwelling. An equilibrium has to be maintained, therefore the ability to “transition” should be predominantly based on resource availability.
Ideally the Community would always be slightly under capacity with a rise and fall in PS members predominantly on a seasonal basis. This turnover will largely depend on the popularity of the locations of the communities and their many geographic benefits or features from the communities environment. In other words the nicer the getaway the less people will want to leave, and the more people will want to come. The turnover rate for OS members should be slightly under capacity with a continuous but slow flux of one or two vacant OS POD’s.
The POD’s dedicated to On Site member housing should be around 30% of the total community space (estimate) The POD’s dedicated to PODshare members should be around 30% of the total community space (estimate). The other 20% should be dedicated to education recreation, food production etc. In theory we will not have to turn anyone away, especially if we build very temporary POD’s that house nonmember guests on bunk beds possibly 6 beds to a POD in a design that is progressive and properly utilizes space. Possibly not stacking the bunks but instead strategically placing them. This means housing more people in relatively the same amount of space especially for emergency purposes and disaster relief. .

Tricks of the Trade
Tricks of the Trade
Sustainable Communities will provide resources, experience and information on a wide variety of trades and necessary mechanical and technical functions that are common and/or vital to the current human condition. These areas of education are the real professions of an efficient society and will enable each individual to enrich the community by enriching themselves. Community members will even be able to exploit their knowledge in the “outside world” and be ahead of the class or their peers in the classroom or workplace. Essentially this will make sustainable community members a hot commodity to the commercial industrial sector.

The workshops will be organized by the person or people with the most experience, knowledge, education and most importantly the passion to engage the material not so much as a teacher of it but as a guide through it. As part of their community contributions these workshop teacher-guides will formulate a relatable and reviewable lesson plan to be used by neophytes (novice) to learn each trade or subject in an ongoing effort to champion the material.

Workshops will utilize the wisdom and experience of the teacher-guides, free online courses, and public community groups to assimilate the necessary information. Community members can choose to work for local businesses through extended or contracted community labor. This will give Community members the opportunity to further their understanding of material while making some money for themselves. The purpose of the workshops is to offer useful skills to community members and if possible the general public to enrich the quality, quantity and efficiency of the work that continually needs to be done to sustain life and society. The primary goal of workshops is to encourage more independence in individuals.

Always in Session
The workshops like anything else relevant to the community/communities will be posted in the community centers, online and in the associated app. Anyone interested will be able to see exactly what workshops are being conducted, when, who is the teacher-guide, who else has committed to participating, and what material will be covered. This will automatically organize the workshops and limit misunderstandings and people who might unintentionally cause disruptions due to lack of interest. Workshops are the means by which human beings will learn the higher order of inner purpose in association with their environment and needs
