Jobs Focused on Sustainability
There are several job sites available specific for careers in environmental industries. Here are a few to help identify jobs in environmental fields.
Green Events
Events can be wasteful in all the materials that it takes to make an event happen. We encourage our campus community to be mindful about the impact of campus events through looking to the sources of waste potential. Food, decorations, giveaways, and brochures are all sources of event waste, among others.
We are here to support you however we can, including with consultations on making your event more sustainable! Feel free to reach out any time at uwbsust@uw.edu and we can schedule a time to chat!
