“I wanted to do something to save the world,” says David Fortson, who runs two businesses aimed at doing just that.
The first one, LoaCom, is a consulting firm that helps companies, nonprofits, and government agencies improve their sustainability. “People hire us to market, communicate, and strategize on how to make a better world,” explains David. “We serve as a connecting tissue for change making across the county.”
His other company, LoaTree, produces events focused on sustainability, social justice, and/or community-building. That includes Earth Day at Alameda Park, which Fortson has helped direct since 2010. (Loa stands for “law of attraction.”)
