I'm going to assume that you didn't spend a lot of time in Omaha looking for things. Wild Oats was bought out by Whole Foods, so there's only Whole Foods in Omaha now. Whole Foods is always packed with people. There's other organic coffee shops and natural food stores and free trade places in the city, you just have to take time and look. You also seemed to have missed all the giant billboards throughout town promoting recycling or the fact that all the city trash cans currently encourage recycling. Or how about the wind farm outside of the city? I currently live in Austin, Texas, but was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska and just got back to Texas from a visit there. If you would like to re-visit Omaha for your tour next year, feel free to contact me and I'll arrange to meet you up there and give you an eco-friendly tour. In response to your view of Omaha.
