2024, Issue 40
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.
I’ve made changes to my subscription model, read about it here. Jobs that require less than five years experience remain free.
There are individual subscriptions available as well as career center subscriptions. 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:
It’s not normal for the East Coast to be on fire (Paige Vega, Vox)
Solar is helping schools save big. Your district could be next. (Akielly Hu, Canary Media)
After Trump win, it’s up to states to lead on climate action (Jeff St. John, Canary Media)
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
With NJ’s Tough New Environmental Justice Law in Place, Why Is Newark in Line for Another Power Plant? (Emilie Lounsberry, Inside Climate News)
