Where to Shop Plastic-Free in Marin—For Your Health and the Health of the Planet!
We’re in Week 4 of Plastic Free July—and if you’ve picked up some new tips and have taken just one action, you’re already making an impact. This week, we’re focusing on one of the most important shifts you can make: Avoiding plastic isn’t just an environmental choice—it’s a health decision. Here’s why: 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, and it contains harmful additives like BPA, phthalates, and PFAS. These chemicals leach into our food, drinks, and personal care products, especially when exposed to heat or oil. Exposure has been linked to serious health issues: Hormone disruption; Infertility and reproductive harm; Early puberty; Immune system suppression; Certain cancers (breast, prostate, testicular)

Read MoreThe Richmond Bridge Saga Continues, as a Revised Bike Path Plan Has Been Submitted
Members of the Marin County Bicycle Coalition have been remaining committed to maintaining 24/7 access to the multiuse path on the bridge. “We would rather they keep their $1.6m and keep the trail open,” Tarrell Kullaway, the organization’s director, said in an email. “We do not believe that the things the trail pilot was supposed to test have been tested yet,” Kullaway said. “In particular, the toll plaza, where the biggest bottleneck occurs, and the lack of safe connections on the Marin side should be addressed before data can be deemed accurate.” Kullaway also noted that the path from Main Street to Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in San Rafael is incomplete, making access to and from the bridge on the Marin side challenging for some.

Read MoreMarin IJ Restaurant Review: Mill Valley’s Tamalpie Still Delivers Great Food, Cocktails
I’d describe the pizza served at Tamalpie in Mill Valley as one with a Neapolitan crust and California-style toppings. This style suits its clientele just fine. The crust is thinnish, softly chewy and just a little crisp on the bottom. Toppings are fresh and first-rate, like Hobbs’ meats and house-made tomato sauce. Tamalpie, which opened in 2011, is firmly grounded in Mill Valley at the foot of Mount Tamalpais with a list of pizzas named after hiking trails and old camps on the mountain, like Cascade, Railroad Grade and Bootjack.

Read MoreSomeone’s Written a Children’s Book About SF’s Famed Bob’s Donuts in Mill Valley and Elsewhere
SF donut shop institution Bob’s Donuts has been further immortalized as the subject of the new children’s book Bob’s Donuts for Breakfast, which tells the tale of an intrepid dog and squirrel who are trying to get themselves some donuts. It’s been a heck of a year or so for the 65-year-old family-owned SF favorite Bob’s Donuts. The 24-hour donut destination had to move to a new spot on Polk Street after some sort of landlord dispute, but their new location at 1720 Polk Street just opened in February. Meanwhile, the staff had been dealing with a tragic hit-and-run accident that severely injured one of their bakers. But now there’s a sweet topping on a year of tumult, as KGO has the interesting story that someone has published a children’s book about Bob’s Donuts.
Read MoreMarin IJ: Martin Cruz Smith, ‘Gorky Park’ Author Who Lived in Mill Valley for a Time, Dies in San Rafael at the Age Of 82
Born Martin William Smith in Reading, Pennsylvania, he studied creative writing at the University of Pennsylvania and started out as a journalist, including a brief stint at the AP and at the Philadelphia Daily News. Success as an author arrived slowly. He had been a published novelist for more than a decade before he broke through in the early 1980s with “Gorky Park.” His novel came out when the Soviet Union and the Cold War were still very much alive and centered on Renko’s investigation into the murders of three people whose bodies were found in the Moscow park that Smith used for the book’s title.
