I have just arrived home from a quick trip to Cleveland, Ohio to judge entries in the 2012 Environmental Respect Awards (ERA). It was a whirlwind trip - one of those two day, four city deals that leave you thinking of an airport as close to a second home - on second thought, a home minus electrical outlets for charging key items like computers and phones.
