Did you know that recycling is a $238 billion industry employing more than 1 million people? While "going green" is often associated with recycling, there are many career fields worth exploring that didn't exist 5-10 years ago. For example, do you know any wind resource analysts? They're the people who assess potential wind farm projects using meteorological data. In their book Green Jobs: A Guide to Eco-Friendly Employment, Llewellyn, Hendrix and Golden dispel a common myth by pointing out that the job growth we’re seeing in this industry isn’t limited to “strictly green” jobs; rather, there are openings for environmentally conscious researchers, accountants, managers, and more.
Are you interested in finding organizations whose missions align with your environmentally-minded values? Consider researching employers using websites like http://www.onepercentfortheplanet.org/, which lists companies that donate one percent of their profits to environmental causes, and The Carbon Disclosure Project, a site that allows users to track the progress of 2500+ companies that have chosen to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and corresponding climate change plans.
