As The Santa Barbara Independent rounds the corner of our 30th year, the folks at LoaTree and the Community Environmental Council took to the dance floor at SOhO and threw a lively birthday party last week. LoaTree founder David Fortson (pictured) testified to the importance of environmentalism in Santa Barbara and allowed that The Indy was seriously invested, as well, pointing to some of the blowups made of several of our spectacular enviro covers. The party continues at the Earth Day fest in April!
