| One Planet Magazine is an all-volunteer on-line publication of The FUSION Foundation. One Planet Magazine reports on the local solutions with global visions.
One Planet Magazine committed to bringing reporting on the local solutions with a global vision. One Planet Magazine inspires and stimulates thinking, fosters dreams and gives rise to healing action. In short; creating the vision of a better world for us all. The format of One Planet Magazine is based on a 12 around 1, whole system design which seeks to heal the planet through an integrated, evolving, holistic approach. Each issue has a focus on one of the 12 segments of this framework – such as economics, relationships, governance, technology, social justice, arts and culture, and the environment – while the other segments acknowledge and support that focus.
The 12-Around-1 Organizing Framework
The 12 - Around - 1 Organizing Framework is use with permission from Dr. Barbara Marx Hubbard and the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. (This explanation is taken from the evolve website.)
The Synergy Center is based upon a simple framework of twelve sectors of human society and their design as an integrated whole. The array of sectors used was developed by a core group of members of the Santa Barbara, CA Conscious Evolution community. Over the course of many meetings, this group reviewed similar eight- and twelve-sector frameworks as well as the various departments of the U.S. federal agency system, and arrived at a consensus on the twelve sectors used in this site.
SECTORS
Art & Culture Our primary tool of communicating messages. The what we communicate. Creative expression, sports, ethnicity and the diversity of human societies.
Environment, Infrastructure & Transportation Natural ecosystems, human habitats, and the innate interplay of these core aspects of human-earth existence.
Healing & Wellness From the leading edge of Western medicine to the ancient wisdom of indigenous healing practices, contributing to the fulfillment of a healthy, balanced mind-body-spirit relationship ~ our Living Medicine.
Relationships & Empowerment Families, couples, children and youth, counseling and coaching for healthy communication and clear direction and opportunities in one's life. Our community service organizations making connections for a sustainable future.
Sustainability (Energy, Food, & Water) Attending to the basic life-support needs of humanity and the resources of the Earth.
Economics, Finance & Business Trade, commerce, and the exchange of goods and services within and among cultures and as a global community.
Science & Technology Understanding the workings of nature and applying this knowledge in developing innovations that improve the life-conditions of humanity.
Communications & Media The Internet, television, radio, books, magazines, music, satellites, PDAs, social networking, etc: how (and what) we communicate across town and around the world.
Governance, Law & Administration Policies and legal structures that guide the pursuit of humanity's quest towards equitable social evolution.
Social Justice & Security Human rights; peacekeeping, peacemaking and peace-building; appropriate defense; emergency relief: bringing balance and safety to society.
Learning & Education From pre-school to graduate school, and beyond to life-long learning.
Spirituality, Interfaith & Religion The many facets of our metaphysical and divine experience as humans in a living cosmos.
Whole System Design Also included is the center category called Whole System Design. This is where the synthesis of all sectors comes into an integral, comprehensive wholeness. It is included as the "one" in the center since the purpose of the Synergy Center is to engender social synergy by maximizing the interrelatedness of all of the parts into a new level of whole system design. Organizations and individuals that are working within an integral viewpoint can post their projects and services in this category.
