MyspaceIn 1970, on the first Earth Day, millions of young environmental activists came together on college campuses around the country and, through their organized efforts, helped enact enormous change in the name of environmental protection, including the passage of the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts.
Forty years later, environmental activists are better organized and far better at throwing a party.
Just look at UC Santa Barbara’s Environmental Affairs Board. On April 24, the student group greeted Earth Day in true Isla Vista fashion: with music, dancing, organic food, and, of course, free tattoos.
Check out these photos from the 14th annual Isla Vista Earth Day Festival.

It's not news when there is a celebration that is eco-friendly, well cleaned up, non-violent, and generally an all around success. Violates the pigeon-holing of IV by all southcoast media, including the Indy. Only sordid events in IV qualify as news.

They report about something positive going on in IV, and you are still going to grind your axe?
Actually, if you click on the IV link at the top, there are plenty of stories about positive things happening in IV.. new skatepark, yoga classes in the park, a new bus line, whale counts, etc...
