Green Careers
By Frank Marquardt, WetFeet

The idea of a “green career” implies work that’s meaningful, where you’re changing the world for the better. It involves working in a suddenly sexy field, one that’s being covered by nearly all major media, with high-profile magazines publishing annual “green” issues. But just what is it? What counts as a green career? Where did this suddenly omnipresent sector come from?

The simplest definition of a green career is one that involves either reducing human environmental impact or promoting the environment’s restoration. You could be doing this in many different ways. You might be involved in reducing the amount of packaging used for the shoes your company sells, underwriting bonds for renewable energy development in your region, selling cleaning products that are free of toxic chemicals, advocating for the preservation of wetlands, or helping plan multi-use development located near public transportation.

There are opportunities for a green career in virtually every industry and every function—and more will be emerging in the years to come, as companies broaden their commitment to going green, while dealing with a tidal wave of environmental challenges: declining reserves of fossil fuels: climate change; increasing amounts of government regulation; and demands from citizens for healthier communities.
