Jobs finding new solutions
America is the richest country the world has ever seen. And yet dissatisfaction is rising and life expectancy is lower than in any other high-income country. Is inequality to blame? Or are too many people making too many bad choices? Or could it be that, in the name of producing and consuming more “stuff,” we’ve lost sight, as a society, of what really matters — including health, well-being and a clean environment?
PIRG is hiring staff to spotlight real problems and find new solutions. How can we make more of our things reusable, repairable and recyclable, instead of single-use and designed for obsolescence. Build political power behind clean air and water over short-term profits and lower costs. Shift economic incentives to grow food that nurtures us as well as the land, with fewer pesticides, antibiotics and other quick fixes. Check out our available positions and learn how to apply.
