A 65-year-old woman from Bethlehem, PA is walking for a cause- she is "Walking for the Climate." Greta Browne began her hike along the Eastern seaboard in March beginning in New Orleans and she plans on finishing this Saturday in our own backyard- Rouses Point, NY after a 1,100 mile trip.
Why would someone do this? She's hoping to bring public awareness and even possibly an outcry from the people for the end to global warming. There have been plenty of people who argue against the idea that humans can cause a climate change, but studies are proving those wrong. Sadly, even the people who do believe global warming is a serious problem, are not doing anything to stop it. “Mostly people think it is a problem,” Ms. Browne said, “but mostly they think it will not impact them anytime soon.”
If this 65-year-old woman, who is funding her cause from small donations and social security checks can do this- anyone can. But will they? It's important to show support of this woman and her cause, if you are not one of the people who believe global warming does not exist. So head up to Rouses Point this weekend and find the woman with the "Walking for the Climate" t-shirt and hand her some water, as long as it's not in a plastic bottle!

Patricia, good for you for noticing a story with a local angle. She'd be an interesting person to interview. Could you send your e-mail address to my PSU email account? I'd like to point out a few things.
