It’s not the CEO’s fault - they had to take all that money to keep their org a non-profit.

Don't they get tax breaks and more lax operating requirements? I don't think this is just an image thing.
No, under US law charities and non-profits are typically eligible for some kinds of tax benefits but public benefit corporations are not.
Are you saying that recycling is a scam?
Aside from a few select product categories, recycling IS a scam.

Many recycling programs don't actually recycle.
