Erik:
I have to agree that small and consistent steps are needed. One big whopping step seems like a big help, but I think it’s the habit, the routine, the step-by-step nature of things that really makes the biggest change over time. Not a giant leap at once because that can often be a fad or a flash in the pan.
Thank you for commenting. And thanks also for bringing to our attention that Cleveland is the biggest Slovenian population in the USA. It’s a niche market as they say.

Cindy: Love your t-shirt slogans. And I agree (for the most part!) IMHO, I'd leave out the "no tornados" (we had a couple nasty ones in 1992 and 1985 that I personally remember/witnessed) and the "no flooding" (the 100 year flood in 2003)... but a natural disaster here in Ohio is definitely an unusual event, thankfully! Thanks for the comments! Chris

I can see the t-shirts now -
Cleveland – We never wanted to be NYC or LA
Mother Earth loves North East Ohio – No tsunamis, no earthquakes, no volcanoes, no wildfires, no mudslides, no hurricanes, no cyclones, no tornadoes, no droughts, no floods, no melting glaciers (been there, done that)
Ohio – “The Heartland” – geographically the heart of the USA
Ohio – If we have to explain it, you don’t need to be here
Ohio – Global Warming – No problem here
Ohio – Ocean front property, after Global Warming
The temperatures are lower, but the people are warmer
SAT scores go up as you leave the coasts of the US
And the livin’ is easy – Ohio
