Breathe For All Humanity
As the contents of air pass around the world in the jetstreams above us, we are witness to a fabulous cycle which has supported life on earth: air. The atmosphere around us has been shared by our ancestors, from prehistoric predecessors to those just a few generations ago. Scientific people explain the mystical respiration process as oxygen entering our lungs, giving us energy and leaving as carbon dioxide. What the casual scientific observer doesn't reflect upon is that we are all breathing in this world at the same time, the same air, the same air dinosaurs breathed ages ago, still cycling and filtering within our atmosphere. Air is a spectacular substance, allowing light to travel through it, and passing sound on as well. The air is the main medium that all people interact with during life. So, next time you take a breath of air, think of the lungs that air may have been in before. Consider that even those you have come to know as enemies are sharing this air with you. We are all caught up in this fabulous, complex, and amazing cycle together: breathe for all humanity.

Planet Earth
Have you seen the new TV series called Planet Earth? If so, you know it's amazing. If not, it's something you would love to see. If you are reading this blog, this show is for you.
Planet Earth Website
The series is kind of like March of the Penguins on Steroids. It's a Landmark Series event and through it Discovery Channel is positioning themselves as the #1 non-fiction media company in the world. It's a great strategic move on their part, and they deserve the title for the amazing job they've done capturing the rarest of environmental phenomena and natural life onto film. Not just film, but HD, slo-mo, underwater, hot air balloon shots, helicopter, hikes through mountains, burying yourself in the heat, you name it, their camera men did it!

Happy Earth Day
Today was Earth Day. I hope that people took the opportunity to appreciate this amazing environment that we interact with and depend upon.
On July 7, 2007 (7-7-7), there will be an international event in 7 cities on 7 continents called Live Earth. It is being set up by the same management team that did Live Aid and Live 8. This event is focused on the environment and will coincide with many launches of environmental initiatives and campaigns. Pretty cool if you ask me.
