Lake Erie looks a whole cleaner then the last time I stood on her shores some twenty or more years ago and that makes me happy. I am also working at down sizing my life so I think that it’s great that you are doing the same!
Re : Lake Erie -They are working on it, however looks can be deceiving. The big issue now is that the surrounding cities release raw sewage into it. It’s not safe to swim in. Unfortunately, most people aren’t aware of this – the posted warning sign is tiny.
Down-sizing my life is the only I can do to improve it. Good luck to you. I am finding it’s a huge undertaking, but I keep plugging away.
