She walks because she is unwilling to to sit by while unacceptable volumes of water are contaminated by shale gas mining. "Water is eternal and a gift of nature to all life. Gas is so temporary it is gone the second it's useful. My generation has a responsibility to leave a livable planet to the ones that follow. I walk because I feel I must respond personally to this serious threat to our waters and the public health".
