About Tara
My mission is to thoroughly enjoy life as I help improve the health and well-being of our planet.
Early in my career, I did that by working for the SolarCal Council, an agency that was part of Governor Jerry Brown's administration. My title was "technical consultant," and my work included helping local elected officials tailor model renewable energy ordinances to their cities and counties. Under my birth name, Pat Lang, I also wrote articles for Solar Age magazine, Sun*Up Energy News Digest, and other renewable energy publications.
Soon after Ronald Reagan was elected President and George Deukmeijian replaced Governor Brown, solar tax credits and other supports for alternative energy disappeared, and with them, my job. My intuition led me into the computer industry, where I had the great privilege of writing and editing computer user guides; it was an honor to help make the tremendous benefits of the computer age accessible to nonexperts. My clients included
- Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
- Cobra Golf, Inc.
- DHL Worldwide Express
- Epson America, Inc.
- Fair Isaac Corporation
- Flex Products, Inc.
- Hewlett-Packard Co.
- Wells Fargo
Today, I am delighted to offer my writing and editing services to the blossoming green economy.

My first article, "A Boater's Guide To Cabo San Lucas," appeared in Sea magazine. I wrote it during a year-long sailing adventure to the Sea of Cortez and along the coast of Mexico.
Since then, over a hundred of my articles have been published, by Solar Age magazine, Sun*Up Energy News Digest, Yoga Journal, the North Bay Bohemian, the Pacific Sun, East Bay Monthly, East Bay Business Journal, alternet.com, Homes and Lifestyles magazine, and others.
I have a B.A. in Sociology from the University of California at Berkeley.
