...and then we started walking

Twenty years ago today, the Global Walk for a Livable World began its trek across the country to raise awareness for the environment.  For the previous two weeks, we had been gathered in a field in Simi Valley, CA engaging in long meetings, doing some construction with the support vehicles, and getting to know each other.  Now it was time for the rubber soles to hit the road.
