My county's solid waste division's quarterly newsletter helpfully reminded me that June 17 is "National Garbage Man Day". Sounds good on the surface (once you get beyond the poor gender-specific choice of words): it's a crappy but important job. Myself, I make sure to wave to garbage collectors whenever I pass them.
Then I went to their website. They claim to be "Keeping You and the Environment Safe", but if you scroll down you come across blatant global warming denial - the typical "oh, it's cold here and now, so the scientists are wrong" bullshit. Turns out the day was created just last year by the CEO of Arwood Waste, a company with a horrible online reputation (Google+, Yelp). Looks like they should be focusing their attention elsewhere.
