Green Careers: A Path to the Future

On Wednesday September 22, join three top speakers from the NGO, startup and digital media worlds to learn about their career paths, current roles, and how you can also forge a career that makes a difference. From helping revolutionize the plant-based meat market, to founding and leading an upstart climate NGO, to becoming a environment-focused digital media influencer, our speakers have been there and done it – and they’ll tell you how.

The event is hosted by Seedlings, the media platform for the climate generation. Our commitment is to a new kind of storytelling that not only informs, but connects us as people and gives us the tools we need to do something positive.
