Some environmentalists have become critical of Earth Day, particularly those
in the bright green environmentalism camp. They charge that Earth Day has come
to symbolize the marginalization of environmental sustainability, and that the
celebration itself has outlived its usefulness.
A May 5, 2009 editorial in The Washington Times compared Arbor Day to Earth
Day, claiming that Arbor Day was a happy, non-political celebration of trees,
whereas Earth Day was a pessimistic, political ideology that portrayed humans
in a negative light.
