Profile Information
- About Me:
- I have been walking and planting trees for peace for almost 5years. I began this activity when I met Mr. Paul Coleman, the earthwalker, during his walk through South Africa in February 2003. Mr. Coleman has been walking around the Earth since 1990, spreading the environmental message and planting trees for people killed at war. Through planting trees he brings people into a state of peace and a state of joy and teaches that it is better to give life than to take it. I was moved by his action and the response he received from common everyday citizens who support him wherever he goes, and decided to join him as he walked through Zimbabwe into Zambia. It was a very precious experience to feel that what is really important in our life.
That is why I am still walking and planting trees for peace.
These 3years I have been walking around Japan, planting trees.

秋田県を順調に南下中です！CELEBRATION EARTH WALK JAPAN IS NOW IN THE MOUNTAINS OF AKITA
秋田県の能代に来ています。
今日はこれから、北秋田市の鷹巣西小学校に木を植えに行きます。
歩くルートから少し外れての番外活動です。
今日の植樹に至るまでのストーリーを簡単に書いてみます。
先週、青森県との県境にある秋田県の鹿角市の市役所に、「木を植える場所を探しています。」と話しをしに行ったら、観光課の兎澤さんという方が、市内のスキー場に隣接しているミニゴルフコース内で5本の木を植えるアレンジをしてくれました。
植えた木はベニヤマ桜。鹿角市の市木です。そして、次の日に通る八幡平でロッジしている畠山さんと言う方を紹介してくれたお陰で、標高が高く、未だ寒い八幡平でも快適に過ごすことが出来ました。

Frank Joe Chou said… - Hi ! Dear !
Please add me as your friend from you, because I already requested over 100 people in less than one day without having time to be approved by them and was rejected by the computerized default system!!
My name is Frank Joe Chou(http://network.earthday.net/profile/FrankJoeChou) from Taiwan.
My academic backgrounds: B. S. in Earth Science from National Taiwan University; M. S. in Earth Science from Louisiana State University; M. S. in Management Science from University of Texas, specialized in Application of Total Quality Management (TQM) and Organizational Learning(OL) to government, non-government and profit organizations. Operations of successful modern entrepreneurs, small-medium-multinational corporations are all based on modern management science, especially on Total Quality Management(TQM) and Organizational Learning focusing on quality, team-brain-storming, systematic thinking and action, creativity/innovation/invention,etc.. Encouraged by academicians in university management schools and successful business practitioners, many government and non-government organizations all over the world follow these practices with successful results, too.(References: (1)Many books written by Peter Drucker; (2)Reinventing Government: How Entrepreneurial Spirits Change Public Sectors, by David Osborne & Ted Gaebler; (3)Many others, including "Butterfly Effect" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect)).
***Abstract of this long message:
With the help of or through Total Quality Management(TQM)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Quality_Management) and Organizational Learning(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizational_learning) of modern management science, please join one of the global network of "Integrated Creative Life-Long-Learning Organization for Global Village Community" project : "Everyday is Earth Day!" project provides every family and community with creative learning and entertaining ways of happy daily life. It can be done (1) just to organize a study-circle studying books, films, arts, etc. at home and in the community; (2) through national or international exchange programs by schools, colleges, government/non-government/non-profit organizations. Please tell all of your friends to come to Taiwan to learn all of them ASAP on tourist visa or student visa or working visa or professional visa.
***Global network project: Everyday is Earth Day Project! Please start "Everyday is Earth Day!" Project anytime as early as possible! It can be done through: (A)everyone's social network in the internet;(B)but with the best results (efficiency, effectiveness, creativity, etc.) through:(a) inviting community members to organize different types of study-circles(studying books, films, arts, etc.) in the neighborhood's/school's/university's/city's/county's/provincial/national community .
(b)Living out-of-province or out-of-country through national/international exchange programs by government/non-government organizations/non-profit organizations(e.g. Rotary Club, Lion's Clubs, etc.. or your own organizations)/ and profit organizations, any religious organization, any school, universities, etc.. National/International Exchange Programs(for Students or The General Public) can be done through the government (e.g. sister cities/counties/states)/non-government organizations/non-profit organizations(e.g. Rotary Clubs, Lion's Clubs, etc.. or your own organizations)/school/university/profit organizations. After the citizens of any school/university/city/county/state, complete petition to the school/university/city/county/state for being a foreign sister school/university/city/county/state of any foreign school/university/city/county/state.
Citizens or government officials can do the International Exchange Programs.
Everyone’s daily life in the whole family or in the community is full of entertaining opportunities in learning everything from empathy/sympathy/affectionate love/charity/beneficence to fine arts, performing arts, literatures, liberal arts, mathematical science, natural science, social sciences and management science, all kinds of technology, etc., and all or some of them can be integrated together with creative learning with “association techniques”, followed up with Total Quality Management(TQM) and Organizational Learning(OL). The best ways of quality life and quality learning can be got through Total Quality Management(TQM) and Organizational Learning(OL) in the family and in the community, at least through the fixed scheduled “free and democratic family’s or community’s meeting”and team-brain-storming . Every family and every community can do them very quickly, just organizing a study-circle to study books, films, arts, etc.. More details about Total Quality Management(TQM) and Organizational Learning(OL) and team-brain-storming can be found on any good website and library. This is the main frame of "Integrated Creative Life-Long-Learning Organization for Global Village Community" project (abbreviated as "IC3LO" project). This can be done at the family level, local community level, national community level and Global Village Community level through internet or national or international exchange programs. Enhancement and Advancement of human potentials and civilizations require such "IC3LO project”.
I am writing a series of books on”IC3LO project”, one of them is "Everyday is Earth Day!" with the creative themes(as described below), looking for teams to make cartoon books, computer-animated movies, film series, TV-teleplay series, through or by application of practice and art in Total Quality Management (TQM) and Organizational Learning(OL) to government, non-government and profit organizations. These projects can be done through internet, but with the best results (efficiency, effectiveness, creativity, etc.) through neighborhood/city/county community's study-circles, living out-of-state or out-of-country through national/international exchange programs by government, non-government and profit organizations, churches, schools, universities, etc.. to create a global net work of "Integrated Creative Life-Long-Learning Organization for Global Village Community". You are quite welcome to Taiwan to be an English teacher or an expert to teach something important in our life, including "Everyday is Earth Day!" , and to be VIP of “IC3LO project” .
The creative themes are as follows: (A)Think and Act Both Globally and Locally: At Home and In the local neighborhood/city/county/state/nation/world communities ; (B)Think and Act Both Governmentally and Non-Governmentally(including government, non-government and profit organizations);(C)Think and Act Both Academically and Practically;(D)Think and Act Both Systematically and Organizationally;(E)Think and Act Both demurely/earnestly/gravely/no-nonsensely/sedately/seriously/severely and
encouragingly/incentively/Incitingly/invigoratively/stimulantly/stimulatively/amusingly/amusively/arrestingly/deliciously/divertingly/divertively/entertainingly/funly/funnily/interestingly;(F)Others :Think and Act in other creative ways. Because of Ecological System(Air/Land/Water/Lives and Non-Lives), "Butterfly Effect", we must call for world cooperation among government, non-government and profit organizations in doing all of those described above "Think and Act Both ... And ...": Planning, Doing, checking, Action by law enforcement(Cycling of Planning, Doing, Checking, Action is the main theme of TQM). Multi-national corporations are required by ISO14000 Regulations/Rules, but local businesses and
governments are only for purposes of profit-making and economic development at the sacrifice of environments, especially in China, India, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Brazil, and other developing and under-developed countries. In many countries or cultures(e.g. Chinese culture), knowing or saying is one thing, but doing is just another!
National/International Exchange Programs(for Students or The General Public) can be done through the government (e.g. sister cities/counties/states)/non-government/non-profit/school/university/profit
organizations. After the citizens of any school/university/city/county/state, complete petition to the school/university/city/county/state for being a foreign sister school/university/city/county/state of any foreign school/university/city/county/state.
Citizens or government officials can do the International Exchange Programs.
Taiwan was the homeland of Austronesian people back 6000 years ago . She is full of very beautiful natural resources, culture and civilization of East-Meeting-West and of Austronesian people. She will hold “World Games 2009 In Kaohsiung”, my hometown. City of Kaohsiung(World Games2009) (http://www.worldgames2009.tw/english/index.asp) got several sister cities/counties in U. S. and in other countries(http://w4.kcg.gov.tw/~protocol/sister.htm). According to modern modern Neuroscience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience), participating in all kinds of learning & educational activities, sports activities and cultural activities can improve and release human potential. So it’s for everyone's goodness to create a new link to creative learning & educational activities of many interesting things all over the world other than scientific viewpoints or purposes, at least with "Association Techniques”, e. g. starting programs right now in association with the International Year of the Reef 2008 held by Reefcheck Foundation (http://www.reefcheck.org/ ), and World Games2009 held by City Government of Kaohsiung, Taiwan (http://www.worldgames2009.tw/english/index.asp), and other conservation activities held by conservation organizations all over the world.
Many Taiwanese schools/universities/cities/counties got several foreign sister schools/universities/cities/counties and introduce many foreign native language speakers to be language teachers in private and public schools/universities, because every Taiwanese knows that everyone requires proficiency in many foreign languages, and wisdom of and real experience with foreign cultures and civilizations in this huge tide of globalization and global competition, and knowledge-based economy. All of foreigners are well-treated like one's own family members because of several hundred years of Taiwanese hospitality tradition, and can get full development in career and academic potentials. All are all welcome to Taiwan to be teachers to teach something important or experts/professionals to do something important in our life, including "Everyday is Earth Day!" ,and work together to become a global network for everyone's goodness and God's purposes to save the whole world (at least to terminate all of the massacre tragedies happened on high-school and university campuses all over the world)and upgrade quality of life, human culture and civilization, etc..

(http://forum.eol.org/viewtopic.php?p=1511#1511).
Dear Madam/Sir:
EOL Subjects and Suggestions In Discussion: Create a New Link to Creative Learning and Education at least With Association Techniques
(A)EOL Project is great. But from viewpoints of the Modern Neuroscience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience) and of the Learning & Educational & Developmental Psychology and of the Entrepreneurial Mindset/Spirit(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrepreneurial_mindset) of Total Quality
Management (TQM) and Organizational Learning(OL)of Modern Management
Science, which emphasize efficiency, effectiveness, creativity, innovation , invention, self-motivated-learning & education, etc.. EOL Project is lack of many interesting things for everyone's goodness all over the world other than scientific viewpoints or purposes.
(B)From viewpoints of Modern Neuroscience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience), participating in all kinds of learning & educational activities, sports activities and cultural activities can improve and release human potential. So it’s for everyone's goodness to create a new link to creative learning & educational activities of many interesting things all over the world other than scientific viewpoints or purposes, at least with "Association Techniques”, e. g. starting programs right now in association with the International Year of the Reef 2008 held by Reefcheck Foundation (http://www.reefcheck.org/ ), and World Games2009 held by City Government of Kaohsiung, Taiwan (http://www.worldgames2009.tw/english/index.asp), and other conservation activities held by conservation organizations all over the world.
We can invite people all over the whole world for EOL to create new romantic imaginative names for everything: lives and non-lives, at least for efficiency, effectiveness, creativity, innovation, invention, self-motivated-learning & education, etc.. For examples Mermaid’s purse has been a common term for the normally empty egg cases of dogfish, skates, sharks and rays. They are among the objects which are washed in by the sea, and can be found at the strandline, which is the furthest point of the highest tide. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Mermaid%E2%80%99s+purse+&fulltext=Search)
(C)Examples of “Association Techniques” with literatures, myths：
(1)Many biologists already know that Acetabularia is called the “mermaid's wineglass”, because it resembles such a cup and raise biologists’ romantic imagination (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabularia). We can invite people all over the whole world to create new romantic imaginative names for everything: lives and non-lives.
(2)Maurice Maeterlinck(1862-1949, a Nobel Prize laureate in Literature in 1911) mentioned many flowers in his essay "The Intelligence of Flowers” (1906), associating flowers with world-wide literatures, myths, etc.., such as, Lilium candidus, Nymphaea lotus, Nymphaea alba, etc.. We can invite people of the whole world to post such existing association with the world-wide literatures, myths, etc. and also to create new association with world-wide new literatures, myths, etc. about everything: lives and non-lives. This is what we can contribute more to http://www.eol.org/ in different ways to awaken people’s interest and motives in self-motivated learning in everything, including EOL, world-wide conservation, etc.. I find that daily life are full of opportunities in learning everything from empathy/sympathy/affectionate love /charity/beneficence to fine arts, performing arts, literatures, liberal arts, mathematical science, natural science, social sciences and management science, all kinds of technology, etc., and all or some of them can be integrated together with creative learning with “Association Techniques”, followed up with Total Quality Management (TQM) and Organizational Learning(OL). The best ways of quality life and quality learning can be got through Total Quality Management(TQM) and Organizational Learning(OL) in the family and in the community. This is the main frame of "IC3LO" project. This can be done at the family level, local community level, national community level and Global Village Community level through internet or national or international exchange programs living in the community planned by non-profit organizations, e.g. EOL Foundation, Rotary Clubs, Lions’ Club, etc.. We can do them right away for the high school students with diploma-requirement of community service, college students, graduate students and general families or tourists. Enhancement and Advancement of human potentials and civilizations require such Integrated Creative Life-Long-Learning in this wave of Globalization, especially all of Taiwanese being eager for it with foreign culture, and this can be a gold-mine or even a diamond-mine for interesting individuals, families, communities, profit or non-profit organizations. Taiwan was the homeland of Austronesian people back 6000 years ago . She is full of very beautiful natural resources, culture and civilization of East-Meeting-West, and of Austronesian people, and holds “World Games 2009 In Kaohsiung City, Taiwan”. We can start such programs right now in association with EOL’s creation of new link to Creative Learning and Education at least With Association Techniques.
Sincerely Yours,
Frank Chou 2008/4/11
