As we move forward in finetuning the design of Napa Valley Life, we will be changing “Sustainable Life” from a special section into a part of the magazine proper, much like “Health + Wellness” and “Arts + Entertainment.” This change signals our belief that sustainability is an integral andregular part of life in the Napa Valley. The same columns will be featured, but we’d also like to hear from our loyal readers about topics they would like to see, as well as tips on individuals and businesses moving towards sustainable practices. If you have a story to share, email Kari@napavalleylifemagazine.com. If we use your story idea in the next six issues, we will give you a $100 gift certificate to the restaurant of your choice.
