but it certainly contributes to other kinds.

unless you're playing a guitar you made from scratch yourself, strung with catgut (or whatever the hell it is they used to string them with), chances are your band aren't too environmentally friendly.

- factory produced guitars, amps, drums, keyboards, mics, PA's, other gear, all of it shipped from wherever
- electricity to power everything
- driving to gigs

the last two things have relatively obvious solutions - venues/practice spaces powered by solar (or other renewable) power, and using fuel efficient means of transport.

does anyone know of any music equipment companies out there that manufacture their products with an eye towards reducing/eliminating their enviro impact?

do you buy locally produced music equipment?

I'm pretty sure Gordon Smith guitars at least used to try to use different woods on guitars for the impact on the environment. I'm told the fret board on my sg is not wood,but some other material. It looks like wood to me though.

What if it's really bad rock and roll. Like Matchbox 20 covers? There's a rock and roll band two doors down from me who play this shit. Definately noise pollution. Nerve polltuion too.
