Connecting Community, Economy, and Ecology

center-festival-small.jpgSustainable Fairfax is one of the first groups in Marin to pioneer sustainability, with a legacy of educating the town council, supporting the community, providing services to the town, and conducting educational events since 1999. Through our work, we’ve come to realize that sustainability is not just an end goal, but also an approach to decision making. Learn more about Sustainable Fairfax >>

Marin Clean Energy Action Needed

marin_clean_energy.jpgMarin Clean Energy is on it’s way to becoming a reality in 2010! Eight towns and the County voted last fall to join together to set up our community based clean energy system. Now we’re into the nitty-gritty details and you can help all of Marin get the best Marin Clean Energy System we can have.

   MCE has the potential to integrate energy efficiency and local power generation. Energy efficiency is the cheapest 'clean energy' available and we would create good local jobs. Public Goods Funds are available to Marin and we should make sure that we get the funding, because Marin Clean Energy can do better Energy Efficiency, Solar, and Low-income programs than PG&E.

Please email your MCE county representative and your MCE town councilor and say that we need to bring energy efficiency and local power generation front and center into all MCE proposals.

Sorella Cafe
soralla_cafe.jpgSoyara and Sonia are sisters (hence 'Sorella ' meaning 'sisters' in Italian) from Brazil raised by an Italian mother and a Korean father. Their mother taught them how to cook and their father, a minister, taught them how to pray.
They came to the U.S. in 1981 with their father, who was accepted at the seminary in San Anselmo to work on his doctorate.

Being young and ambitious, Sonia and Soyara worked in the restaurant business. They worked together in catering companies and restaurants, picking up cooking methods and recipes along the way."we moved to Fairfax when my husband John and I bought a house a few years ago, explains Soyara with her omnipresent grin. "It even has a separate cottage on the property, in which Sonia lives.
