Jones has even greater ambitions, believing the green-collar movement can reshape politics in the U.S. by breaking down old barriers on the left and the right. A few hours after helping Schumake get her solar panels, Jones traveled across the bay to San Francisco's ornate city hall, where his organization received the first-ever environmental grant from the Full Circle Fund, a Bay Area philanthropic network. Jones had the tough task of following Al Gore, who had delivered the keynote speech, but he still brought the house down. "When we bring together the best of the business community...
...beyond Asian food. "Sake has the ability to be molded to what you want--to adapt to the flavor of the dish," says Tanguay. "You can't do that with wine."

Today Barnett, 43, has a job at a direct-selling company in a nondescript office park about an hour inland from San Francisco. Like most people in direct sales, he has a touch of the evangelist about him. He really, really wants you to like the cleaning products, vitamin supplements and beauty products he's representing. Sloan, for her part, has been boosting the new business by hosting parties to demonstrate her husband...
...Shaklee is completely redesigning all his products' packaging, which has transformed the household-cleaning line from something you'd expect to find at Grandma's to something many young hipsters (a market Barnett knows he must attract) would be proud to show on their shelves. Barnett had his San Francisco design firm's team discard two completed designs before deciding on a third, one he felt was the perfect science-meets-nature theme for every Shaklee line. The new dishwasher-powder label shows a stack of plates lined up next to leaf fronds; a tub of scouring paste depicts green...
