Chris and Seth started walking because they didn't like sitting in cars and hurting the earth. They walked even when the weather was very bad, but nice people let them sleep in their homes. After walking so much, they think they will use buses and trains for their next music shows instead of walking. Their long walk showed that playing music can be good for the earth and make people happy. They hope other music people will think about this too.
