“Locally Grown, Family Owned” by Carrie Ruehlman
“I’ve been an avid reader of Marin Magazine for years, and really like it when you include climate stories. March’s story on environmentally friendly local food purveyors made me a big fan of Straus Family Creamery, who I already like for milk in returnable glass bottles. According to the Yale Climate Opinion Maps (February 23 update), 82% of people in Marin County think climate change is happening and 70% think Congress should do more to address the climate crisis. I want to ask you to amplify the growing concern in our area. If more people knew about public attitudes, we might see more momentum toward civic action. Thank you for your Marin-centered magazine!” — Shirley Huang
“The latest issue of the Marin Magazine featured Pt. Reyes farmers and ranchers and their sustainability practices. Unfortunately, M this article did not mention the contested park service management plan and the impacts these same ranchers have on the environment. The following letter (see editorial note below) explains this situation and certainly represents a very large, serious community concern challenging these ranchers' sustainability claims. It is irresponsible for Marin Magazine to showcase these ranchers’ claimed environmentally friendly practices when there is another viewpoint held by so many of us in the community. Marin Magazine should report on both opinions.” — Maggie Keilg
