The mission of The Santa Cruz Green Business Network is: To Grow our local green business community through networking and referrals.

If you have a sincere interest in green/sustainable practices and represent a business in our community then you are invited to visit our networking group and learn more about how this exciting new group can promote and add some sustainability to your green business.

Meetings are held weekly on Tuesday mornings from 7:30-8:45 at Greenspace. Located at 1122 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz, CA. This network is also part of the Meetup online group and can be found online at www.meetup.com/Santa-Cruz-Green-business-network.

Henry & I believe strongly in the ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ principle. Long before starting our business, 17 years ago, we were dedicated to protecting our planet through Green practices. If you are not yet certifiably green and are interested in the process contact www.montereybaygreenbusiness.org .
By far, the most economical way to “produce energy” is not from oil, natural gas, biodiesel, hydroelectric power, solar power, wind power, or fuel cells, etc. but by conservation. In other words, it’s far more economical to turn down your thermostat or carpool to work, ride a bike, turn off the hot tub or hang the clothes out to dry than it is to drill another oil well, build another dam or put up another wind turbine farm.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!  What can you do today to help our planet?

Water Star Motors is at 318-A River Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060. 831-457-0996
