Correction: In the article "Climate Protection Begins at Home" (October/November 2005 issue), Novato was incorrectly located in Sonoma County, not Marin. Credit goes to Novato Mayor Bernie Meyers for correcting our geography, as well as adding Fairfax and Marin County to our list of participants in the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) Cities for Climate Protection Campaign. Cloverdale and Healdsburg should have been included in the nine Sonoma County cities which have passed climate protection resolutions.
