Save the Earth, One step at a time


I you your not familiar with the planetwalker, John Francis, then I highly recommend learning about him.
I must say that I was deeply humbled by his talk (see link below) not only for his accomplishments, but family, friends, and even strangers that helped him along the way. It's given me pause many times over the past few weeks to relearn how to listen (or maybe even learn to listen for the first time). And discover what my own prisons might be. As a tracker, its clear that all of our footsteps make an impact, its that impact that they make is what's important. I need to take a closer look at my tracks...


For almost three decades, John Francis has been a planetwalker, traveling the globe by foot and sail with a message of environmental respect and responsibility (for 17 of those years without speaking). A funny, thoughtful talk with occasional banjo.
