Yesterday was Earth Day in San Diego, and the event was marked by an annual festival at Balboa Park that drew thousands to the area.
While the free festival was enjoyed by some, not everyone was 'feelin' the love.
San Diego State student R.E. Israel said the festival was not earth friendly.
"It was all about consumerism," she said.
"People trying to sell their wares to tourists is not what Earth day is supposed to be about. We should celebrate the earth by honoring it, not by trying to make a profit."
The event was marketed as the largest environmental celebration, and featured exhibits from vendors on sustainable energy and solar power, among other topics.
Israel said she will think twice before going to next year's celebration, but is excited about the celebration on San Diego State's camps tomorrow.
"There will be some bands that I really enjoy, and more information than shopping, so I really think it will accomplish what Earth Day is meant to (accomplish)," she said.
