A couple of (wannabe) Canadian Quakers are walking to San Diego

for climate change. They aren't FOR climate change, they are against it. So they are actually walking against climate change, or rather to bring awareness to climate change, well to people about climate change. Anyway (The Canadian Press Says):

Louis Cox and Ruah Swennerfelt will do the whole trip on foot, stopping off at Quaker meeting houses along the way to talk about their message.

The couple was inspired by 18th century Quaker John Woolman who, by foot, spread the message of right living. They thought his philosophy was more applicable today than ever, and decided they'd attempt to relate it in their own way.

"If you fly in and give your little message and leave again, they can say 'oh that was nice."' Swennerfelt said. "But if we walk for hundreds of miles to come and talk to you, you might spend a little more time and your ears might be a little more open."

Cox said it was time to do something radical to encourage people to change the way they live, as the planet rapidly deteriorates.

"The Quaker model of living more simply and having a style of working out problems with other people that doesn't require war is a good start," he said. "By simple living, we're consuming less and less likely to be the cause of conflict or scarce resources."

So, as the Quakers say, eat your oatmeal (wait, sorry, ANOTHER bad Monday joke), and be good to the earth.
