In 2007 it seems Marin County is saving the world, and we do our best to cover it. In Bolinas, MMOB, a motivated group of mothers, writes letters aiming to change energy policy nationwide; in Larkspur, EO bucks industry standards to create chemical-free beauty products, as does San Francisco–based Method (run by a Marin-based executive team). We mention Fairfax’s new ban on plastic bags and a dad duo opens a biofuel station in San Anselmo while writer Jim Wood discovers the Honda Civic GX is the easiest on the environment. Tesla who?

MAY We catch up with Dana King at her favorite spot, the Marin Rowing Association, when she is still in the KPIX-TV news anchor seat.

NOVEMBER We interview then director of California Academy of Sciences John McCosker, in the academy’s temporary space used during the remodel.
DOG STAR
The star of our March fashion shoot just may be Mochi, the adorable Chihuahua also well known from many Rims and Goggles ads in the magazine.
FUNNY ADS
We really enjoy the humorous ads created by Bryan Flannery of the now-closed Bryan’s Fine Foods, where he mentions the new online shopping trend with an emphasis on pork butts.
