BECOME A DIGITAL ASSOCIATE WITH ENVIRONMENT AMERICA The damage we're doing to the earth is both unsustainable and infuriating. Climate change is speeding up. Plastic pollution is piling up. There's even evidence that global deforestation is spreading diseases like COVID-19. But solutions to these problems are all around us, practically begging us to adopt them: solar and wind power, electric cars and buses, more walkable and “bikeable” cities, sustainable alternatives to harmful single-use plastics, more protections for wild places and wildlife, and on and on. Environment America’s mission — the thing that drives everything we do — is to transform our ideas and imaginations into change that makes our world a greener and healthier place. Imagine using your sharp writing skills to protect a national forest from logging. Imagine creating unique, engaging digital content to help a clean energy bill make it over the finish line.

Environment America is seeking a Federal Legislative Advocate to promote our federal policy agenda and be a part of our DC-based advocacy team. The Legislative Advocate will work with our staff of researchers, campaign staff and communications experts to defend the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act and other important environmental protections that have come under attack in Congress.

With affiliates in 29 states, we run campaigns that not only raise awareness, but win results on the national...

Join the Environment Texas Conservation team, led by state director Luke Metzger, with our current campaign to expand protected parkland in Texas. From camping under the stars at Big Bend Ranch to exploring the cypress swamps of Caddo Lake, our parks make life better here in Texas. Our parks protect the clean water we depend on and provide a home for some of Texas’ most wondrous wildlife, like the black bear and the leatherback sea turtle. But unfortunately our parks and open spaces face chronic underfunding which threatens their very existence. Every hour, almost 20 acres of open space are destroyed in Texas to make way for new strip malls and subdivisions. That is why Environment Texas has launched the Million Acre Parks Project — a campaign that seeks to better protect the beauty, character, and heritage of the Lone Star State by adding one million additional acres of parkland for us all to enjoy. We are seeking a Campaign Associate who will spearhead this campaign...

Get the Lead Out Campaign Associate   The Clean Air and Water team is looking for an associate to drive our “Get the Lead Out” campaign.  The crisis that unfolded in Flint, Michigan in 2014-15 provided a tragic reminder of the dangers of lead exposure. The drinking water of an entire city had been contaminated with lead. More than 8,000 children under the age of 6 drank lead-contaminated water. A potent neurotoxin, lead affects how our children learn, grow and behave. Now we know this toxic threat extends well beyond Flint. The only way to ensure safe drinking water for our children is to “get the lead out” of our schools and preschools. This involves proactively removing lead-bearing parts from schools’ drinking water systems — from service lines to faucets and fixtures — and installing filters certified to remove lead at every tap used for drinking or cooking. Thes e steps cost money, but our children's health is worth it. To convince state and local leaders to act,...

COMMUNITY ACTION WORKS HIRING FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZER POSITIONS in MASSACHUSETTS and CONNECTICUT “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead At Community Action Works (formerly known as Toxics Action Center), we believe that environmental threats are big, but the power of well-organized community groups is bigger. That’s why we work side by side with everyday people to confront those who are polluting and harming the health of our communities. We partner with the people who are most impacted by environmental problems, especially Black, Indigenous, communities of color and poor communities, training them with the know-how anyone would need to make change in their own backyard. Because when neighbors know how to make change, they can build the power to transform our world. To be the best organizers we can be, we’re diving deep into what it means to undo racism and...

Corporate Engagement Specialist Transform the global food system through sustainable seafood  The Good Food Institute (GFI) is at the forefront of the movement to use food technology and markets to solve some of the world’s biggest problems, from climate change and global hunger to antibiotic resistance and the exploitation of billions of animals annually.  The health and welfare of billions of people, and indeed the stability of life on earth, depends on vibrant and robust oceans. Global demand for seafood is projected to increase by nearly 30% within a decade, while over 90% of wild fisheries are fished at maximum capacity, are classified as overfished, or are already depleted. Across the globe, overfishing has pushed many species to extinction and driven many ocean ecosystems to the point of collapse. Alternative — plant-based, fermentation-derived, and cultivated — seafood represents a highly tractable approach for alleviating pressure on both wild fisheries and...

Description Climate change is an existential threat to life on earth as we know it. Project Vesta is investigating Coastal Enhanced Weathering (CEW), a carbon dioxide removal method that enhances the weathering rate of a naturally occurring volcanic silicate with coastal wave energy to draw down CO 2 from the atmosphere as it breaks down. We believe stopping (and ultimately reversing) global warming is THE most important and impactful use of our time, and we need your expertise to assess the safety and feasibility of this approach at all scales - from the laboratory to global deployment. If you want to work on one of the most promising approaches to global-scale climate change mitigation, please join us in our mission. Background Project Vesta is bringing together a global team of scientists to work on our goal of removing a trillion tons of CO 2 from the atmosphere by using coastal energy to enhance the weathering rate of the mineral olivine. We have an...

U.S. PIRG Zero Waste Campaign Associate The Zero Waste team with U.S. PIRG is seeking a Campaign Associate to help lead our Beyond Plastics campaign. Nothing we use for a few minutes should threaten our health and pollute our future for hundreds of years. Every day, people throw away tons of plastic “stuff” — cups, plates, bags, containers, forks, knives, straws, spoons and more. All of this waste not only clogs our landfills, trashes our parks, and litters our streets, but it also washes into our rivers and oceans, where it can harm wildlife. It’s time to move beyond single-use plastic, by getting rid of the most harmful waste, and stopping the use of things we truly don’t need. U.S. PIRG is calling on our decision makers to lead us toward a zero waste future by passing a statewide ban on polystyrene (commonly known as styrofoam) take-out containers and single-use plastic bags.   Entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply; we provide training on advocacy...
