Read for class sophomore year and wanted to finish, but it's been sitting around for a few years and I'm tired of looking at this book. It's good but very dense

An amazing compendium of essays that attempt to re-frame the global climate and consumption crisis as consumption rather than production oriented. Re-configures all acts of production as forms of consumption. The essay on the individualization of responsibility is my favorite, a real fish-noticing-the-water opportunity
