Ask HN: Do you care about sustainability (and how does it show at work)?

8 pointsby vargas84about 11 years ago
I&#x27;m a computer science student in University and I&#x27;ve developed a passion for sustainability over the past few years. Bottom line is that I want to make positive social, environmental, and economic contributions to the world in my professional life. Do any other HNers share similar goals? Is anyone achieving this now and, if so, how specifically does it show at work?<p>I know the term &quot;sustainability&quot; is super broad but, for the purposes if this discussion, I think that&#x27;s okay.<p>Right now, my particular interests are in collaborative consumption and education. It would be nice to hear what specific components of sustainability you are interested in as well.

Yes. I was unhappy with my previous job because the company mission was to just make money providing &quot;business solutions&quot;. I&#x27;m now working at a Smart Grid company where one of our policies&#x2F;goals is to reduce the carbon foot print of our customers.

Yes, it&#x27;s the reason I&#x27;m working for <a href="https://peerby.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;peerby.com&#x2F;</a> . When my internship ends I definitely want to do something in the theme of sustainability again.
