East Coast Greenway - SC + GA w/ Brent Buice (video available)
In this episode, I connect with Brent Buice, Manager of South Carolina and Georgia with the East Coast Greenway, who provides us with a snapshot of this extraordinary effort that connects 15 states and 450 cities and towns for 3,000 miles from Maine to Florida. The initiative is fostering a safe walking and biking route through the country’s most populated corridor.

Background:
Hi Everyone, my name is John Simmerman.
I’m a health promotion professional with over 30 years of experience and my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization of how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility.
In 2012 I launched the non-profit Advocates for Healthy Communities as an effort to help promote and create healthy, active places.
Since that time, I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be, in order to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities."
My Active Towns suite of channels feature my original video and audio content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them.
Thanks for tuning in; I hope you have found this content helpful.
