Are you watching Life?

Discovery’s landmark 11-part series:  Life tells the incredible story of our planet’s animals and plants and their extraordinary strategies to stay alive as individuals and survive as a species. You will be over-awed by life’s sheer intelligence. Brown-tufted capuchin monkeys in Brazil. Bottlenose Dolphins in Florida. Stoats in picturesque central England. Every episode of Life will leave you thinking about the Planet we live on—especially in the run-up to World Environment Day, that we will celebrate on June 5, later this week.

Life has existed for about 4 billion years on our Planet. Humans have a recorded history of about 10,000 year. Our last 200 years have been spent trying to undo the damage we have unleashed on the only planet that we can live on.  Across the world, ecosystems and environments have been disrupted only for us to discover that there are personal consequences to every act of eco-vandalism. The Gaia Principle urges You to experience Earth as a single living organism. Every life on this planet is linked with yours. And, everything works towards the sustenance of life. Especially, our Earth. Since 2003, scientists have observed the Earth trying to heal itself, as ozone layer is slowly repairing itself.

World Environment Day on June 5, this week, will create three states of being. Environmental Awareness. Political Attention. Public Action. World Environment Day will make it possible for you to contribute, where you are. Plant a Tree. Save a Forest. Celebrate the birth of the next Tiger.


Begin now, with Life:

Welcome to www.josephfz.com, the newest frontier on the world wide web.

It is March 19, 2009 and a strangely apt day for me to begin my blog. I see this space as a way to connect with and continue dialogues that have begun in 1990 and in 2004 with the publication of my book Corporate Communications: A 21st Century Primer. This blog is about things that ceaslessly fascinate me: Arts, Branding, Communications, Culture, History, Leadership, Music,  Travel and, of course, that strange buzz that we all share called Life.

This Blog is, for me, New Territory. It is a brave new world. And, what you think will certainly make the difference. This picture was taken from a hike through Hong Kong's windswept New Territories. It is breathtakingly beautiful country. And I thought I should share this memory with you. It is a metaphor for the journey that we all share. While you are visiting this new frontier, leave a message that will help chart the future of this site.

Thank you...and look forward to seeing you again!
