This Guy Is Walking Across America Barefoot to Protest Climate Change

Mark Baumer is walking across the United States barefoot, but this isn't his first rodeo. He's already walked the length of the country once before—though that time, he wore shoes. This time, he's walking to "save the earth," and to raise money for the environmentalist group FANG Collective, which resists the natural gas industry in Rhode Island and contributes to other causes like the protestors at Standing Rock. At press time, Baumer had raised a little more than $3,000.
Baumer does not step aside for cars. He will, however, move over for trucks. ("They'll really mess you up.")

Jesus...you get one life and this is what you spend your time doing.

To protest it he should walk entirely on natural earth as roads were built because cars need them and they need petroleum not to mention all the equipment that gathered/delivered the materials ran on fossil fuels

Maybe he will get run over

His reasons may be ridiculous, but crossing the country can probably be a very satisfying experience. A friend of mine rode his bicycle across the country, and he said it was one of the best experiences of his life.

Grad school
Environmental non profit.
Walking across the country
Must be nice to not have to pay any bills.

Looks like acne

From the article
Originally the plan was to do the whole thing running, but early on, in Connecticut, I stepped on an acorn—and since then I haven't really run that much.
Holy shite so much of what he says in the article will give you a good laugh
"Once he had to buy a can of corn from a convenience station"
