Hi there! Welcome to Ed’s Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List, where we know climate change is caused by burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, oil, and fossil gas (“natural” gas), and that burning fossil gas in our homes makes us sick.
Jobs that require less than five years experience remain free. There are individual subscriptions ($6/month or $60/year) available as well as career center subscriptions ($300/year). College student? Please ask your career center to sign up for a paid subscription, especially if they pointed you here. Odds are they have not subscribed.
Want to support the jobs list, but can’t swing a subscription? I started an affiliate bookshop on Bookshop.org that will send me a small affiliate bonus if you purchase books using this link (https://bookshop.org/shop/EdsCleanJobs). I also included a selection of books that I’ve enjoyed that address climate change and climate solutions. You can also send me a one-time payment/tip using this link.
What I'm reading this week:
The EPA Says Carbon Pollution Isn’t Dangerous. What Comes Next? (Emily Pontecorvo, Heatmap.news)
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Capped Alabama Coal Ash Pond Still Polluting Groundwater 7 Years After Closure, Lawsuit Claims (Dennis Pillion, Inside Climate News)
Signal Boost:
Sun Day - national day of action on September 21, 2025.
Housekeeping:
