Think your IT background doesn't fit sustainability work? This success story from solution architect to sustainability platform consultant proves otherwise.
WHY DID YOU CHANGE?
Lack of purpose. I wanted to contribute my time towards areas I really care about the sole purpose of existence can't just be paying bills.
HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT MAKING THE SHIFT?
Not sure how I can answer this in like 200 words!! But its very much unchartered territory, so relying more on first principles as opposed to set norms or "best-practises" is essential.
“There are far more people in the world who care about climate change than you often realize, and taking the first step is often the most difficult”
WHAT RESOURCES WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
