Get Out Omaha

If you have two minutes: Visit www.funtheory.com, a site dedicated to putting “fun” back in people's lives while building healthier personal and environmental habits. It's an initiative of Volkswagen. A favorite: the “Piano Staircase,” which encourages people to take the stairs instead of the escalator. View that clip here:
