Note from publisher, Dennis Spear

It's a brave new year with a fragile economy that is on the mend. We live in a community that is working hard for local business and has such great and active citizens. N magazine urges you to get involved and work with local nonprofit groups that need your help. We also encourage you to shop and eat locally to let our Natomas businesses know that they are important to you.

There is a lot going on in the community from the rebuilding of the levees to the new representation of Natomas by Steve Cohn and Robert Fong Jr. Along with Angelique Ashby, we now have three advocates that have pledged to work together for all of Natomas. We hope they will truly think of the whole community in their decisions.

This is our green issue and we see the ongoing effort of business to operate efficiently. While the economy slowed green development, we are still active and have some great accomplishments in our region. Natomas has two major LEED

buildings in the certified Gateway Tower.

Liane Quirk, N magazine's health editor, has looked into shopping and eating green. From less packaging to bringing your own reusable grocery bags, there is a lot that you can do to create a smaller carbon footprint.

Natomas resident, Gloria Diaz and her family visited the Mayan Ruins at Chichen Itza, Yucatan, Mexico on our N Worldwide page this month. As always, we aim for the positive within our pages and we look forward to 2012 as a year with even more positive stories. One thing we do know, you can feel proud of your Natomas community. In the last year, we have met many great people and reported many positive stories.
