Earth Day in Washington, DC

We stopped by the earth day celebration on the National Mall this Sunday. It was a cross between a science fair and a shopping mall.

Everyone was walking around carrying these NASA shopping bags. Long lines lead to any booths giving away free crap.

Lots of marketers were there. Fedex had a booth, as did Timberland. There was a whole section of hybrid cars. It was one big consumer fest.

A dark tent full of scientists (many from government agencies) showed off their wares. And the concert stage had a stream of local environmental groups and politicians giving speeches.

Chevy Case was there introducing everyone. He was old. It was old.
