Pushpanath Krishnamurthy, or Push as he is more usually known, set out on foot from Oxford yesterday morning, hoping to cover 10-15 miles a day. The 57-year-old Oxfam campaigner is equipped with a pair of MBT shoes, breathable waterproofs, a pair of long johns, a copy of An End of Suffering by the writer Pankaj Mishra, and an unquenchable rage that he hopes will fuel him all the way to Denmark.
"I am so angry about the way that the African people, the developing countries, who have done so little to cause climate change, are the first to suffer, and lose their homes. But Gandhi said that we should use that anger as energy. This is a personal walk of redemption."
