It’s the new Wild West. These local pioneers show us why.

Editor’s Note: There was a day when the West was wild and everybody wanted to venture out here. Truth is, it still may be wild in terms of creativity, especially when it comes to making environmental strides. In our first Green Issue, we spotlight a bunch of eco trailblazers and show how they are making the most positive dent in the environment.Take note of several of the green businesses we discovered, too, and be sure to head to gtweekly.com for a more comprehensive list of all things green. In the meantime, saddle up—and gallop toward the “green.”

A refugee from San Jose, one of the reasons I came to live in Santa Cruz was because of these great music stores. I have spent so much time in them, buying and selling amps and gear, looking for the p...
