San Diego's Balboa Park Gets Trashed by Earth Day Celebration

Yesterday, April 20 2008, was Earth Fair Day at San Diego's Balboa Park.

This is the largest free annual environmental fair in the world. Aside from the polluting gas powered generators stinking up the place, aside from the miles of congestion and grid-lock in and around the Balboa Park area during the event, aside from the tons of trash left all over the park and parking lot and surrounding area, aside from the hundreds of tie-dyed shirts getting Stoned in the parking lot, aside from the wall to wall bodies everywhere, Balboa Park was the place to go this weekend to use massive amounts of energy and generate tons of trash and pollution to show hundreds of energy-saving, green products to help stop man made global warming, err, I mean climate change.

It's amazing how much disregard for nature there is at these events intended to, you know... protect nature.
