Many companies and retailers celebrated the Earth Day by offering good deals and free stuffs to consumers. The idea is Earth Day freebies 2010, where many companies are offering discounts or free products in conjuncture with Earth Day to try and draw business to their stores. Of course I am sure they're also trying to promote a healthier environment. Either way, with all the criticism out there about this, I can't help but wonder why people care and get so worked up? The outcome of a business taking advantage of a holiday to try and get sales is: a lot more revenue in our economy helping to stimulate it; a lot more revenue equals a lot more job; and they're still getting people to contribute to the environment by recycling or no matter what gimmick they have going on. So how is there a down side at all?
