Its people like John Francis that make a difference. After reading Planet Walker a couple years ago and completing a book report on it, I realized how truly important it is to communicate, connect and interact with all people on our planet. Now that I am a university student studying environmental studies myself, I find there is a growing importance to protect the one thing we all share. Like Dr. Francis says, "part of receiving the message is listening," which is exactly what we need to do.
@johnnyfarout, amazing how people can judge without information. Does he look and speak "ghetto"? I'd say NOT IN THE LEAST! Did you say that just because he's a black man? If so, then you're the one that's stuck in the ghetto, the ghetto of your mind. Check out planetwalker website, then search for "John Francis: I walk the Earth" here on youtube, and inform yourself before you start babbling about your so called intuition again. John Francis lives 20 min from me, he's well known, and legit.
Was at his guest speech appearance and I have got to say what an amazing clip they showed before he spoke and what an amazing speech. This is truly inspirational. I am so glad I met this man, bought his book and had him autograph it. Pictures were took too and the people that took them said it was for our college so im going to try and check on that too. I hope every fan of his gets to meet him he truly is a nice man.
Dr. Francis' book, "Planetwalker", is well worth the read. I hope a movie is made on this very amazing man's life. Ever since I purchased and read his amazing book, I thought, "Wow! This would make an incredable film!
My friend gave me a copy of the book. I plan to give up my car in the near future. I have realized that we have been brainwashed to believe that we need these vehicles yet we don't.
John Francis' book PLANETWALKER is a fantastic read.
please stop yelling about lies, frauds and cheats, you are missing the point. If you claim he never did these things, which are well documented, how can we believe anything anyone says they did that is not well documented?
that seems silly.
but the point is that you should try walking or biking,
and you should try unplugging from electronics,
and you should try to be silent in nature or a city for a little while.
He isn't a liar because his journey is well-documented and many people have come forth who know him including a pair miners in Oregon who he spent plenty of time with. BBC Hardtalk can't be correct all of the time and it's not rubbish one bit-- I suggest reading his book and learning about him before judging just from someone's opinion alone.
He isn't a liar, he has a book out and is quite honest and candid in the fact that he walked for 22 years and was silent for 17 years (he did it to stop arguments.) He was protesting for the environment.
i read his book- inspired me to quit driving for 6 months- and im now a vegan. Thanks john.

thanks for the interview, this guy is inspirational, down to earth, spiritual, and environmentally aware, a rare combination.
not sure what has promoted the crazy comments below, you get some strange about of bitterness coming out on youtube sometimes.
