Introducing Season 6: How to Green Your Job
More than half of Gen Z and millennials are pressuring employers to green their companies — and almost that many would switch jobs to help the climate. Great news: This new season of Degree is all about “How to Green Your Job.” If you’re looking to change careers or want to “green” the job you already have – this season, hosted by sustainability jobs expert Yesh Pavlik Slenk, is for you. And even better news: there are a ton of opportunities to get paid to fight climate change — opportunities that are surprising, hidden, or just emerging. You’re likely more qualified than you think. Season 6 includes inspiring stories of people who’ve found green careers or adapted their existing jobs to be more climate friendly. Hear from screenwriter, director and producer Scott Z. Burns; Ciara Imani May, founder of Rebundle, which makes non-toxic, plant-based braids; Drew Wilkinson, climate activist and co-founder of Microsoft’s 10,000-member employees sustainability community; Rebecca Weston, co-president of the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America, and more! You’ll even hear some advice from a green career coach, who will help guide you to Green Your Job!
