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 >>

2009 Accomplishments and collaborations

newsletter_head.jpg

Thanks to you, our supporters, this past year has been a huge success for Sustainable Fairfax and our community.  We celebrated 10 years as one of Marin’s leading sustainability organizations, Marin Clean Energy getting ushered into the bidding phase, our Plastic Bag Ban going into effect and we won a MMWD pilot program for Water Conservation that will allow Fairfax to lead the County in water conservation while also providing a state-wide model for grassroots conservation efforts.  We say NO to desal!  

Unfortunately, we recently lost two of our regular support grants to a very well deserved re-targeting to feeding and sheltering the homeless.  We understand that it makes sense in this economy but, it leaves us in a bind. Sustainable Fairfax is making a concerted effort to raise money in our own community where we bring the most benefit. Times have been hard for all, and only because of the tenacity and resourcefulness of Sustainable Fairfax’s Board and or members that we have been able to sustain our efforts and keep the doors of the Sustainability Center open.  Every donation counts!  If every person on our list became a member today by donating $30 or more, we would be a long way towards making or 2010 goals.

We know you really get what we are doing. Please help us out by donating via pay pal or by sending a check to Sustainable Fairfax 141 Bolinas Rd. Fairfax, CA 94930

Good Earth Natural Foods

good_earth.gifGood Earth Natural Foods in beautiful downtown Fairfax since 1969 has been continually offering our local community the finest organic foods we can procure. You won't find us listed on the New York Stock Exchange, nor are we going to open a store in neighborhoods all over the Planet.

We simply want to sell our customers foods grown and processed using the radical but ancient concept, care. Often care takes a back seat to the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

We feel that this is wrong and shortsighted. We offer foods grown and prepared using a minimum of processing and no chemical pesticides or food additives. If we cannot meet this ideal with a certain food item, we get as close as we can and make as much noise as we can to change it for the better. We always endeavor to remember that food contains spirit.
