Wendy Tremayne and Mikey Sklar: Green Pioneers

06:55 | Ryanne Hodson | Apr 22nd, 2007 5:28pm |

Wendy Tremayne, best known for founding Swap-O-Rama-Rama, and Mikey Sklar, who is geek-famous for self-implanting an RFID chip into his hand, are also green pioneers. Leaving New York City to settle in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, these two decided to invest their retirement funds into creating Green Acre. Their goals for Green Acre span from being a green lodging spot for geeks to becoming a community center and arts venue for the increasing number of T-or-C locals.

We got the chance to hang with Wendy and Mikey on our long drive from San Fran to SXSW. They graciously toured us around, showed us the hot springs, cooked us meals, and shared the secrets of making papercrete. In the next few videos, you’ll get to hang with them, too. Thanks Wendy and Mikey! Also thanks to Jonny Goldstein for putting us in contact!
