When I was a student at Cal State LA (2001?), I took an English class where we had to pick a new book and basically write an essay about something new we learned.
I chose “Stupid White Men” by Michael Moore. I still to this day am enraged over the chapter about recycling. The performative BS in that industry and lack of actual recycling was maddening. It was cities literally giving themselves trophies and telling constituents they were saving the planet.
I feel so old talking about a book written ~25 years ago…
