While my goal is to have a small portfolio of green clients, from clean technologies to socially responsible organizations, I'm only partially there. So, a month into my PR consultant status, I've broadened my definition to include "companies with conscience" and I've rationalized that the flexibility of contracting has enabled me to benefit society in other small ways as well.
Not only am I not commuting three days a week, but I now have the time to skip out for an hour to volunteer at my kids' elementary school, which is in grave need of help amid deep state and local cuts that have left 30 kids in a class. I also have more time to "value add" help with homework, versus racing through it at 7 p.m. How does this benefit the universe? Because I'm raising three daughters who will, if I can help it, be acutely aware of the impact their actions and those of others have on society and the planet - and I can scatter such guidance throughout an essay brainstorm or open-ended math problem if needed.
On the career front, I am going to counsel carbonrally.com on a project basis, which is a fantastic start. The site educates and empowers consumers and organizational teams to compete with each other to reduce personal and professional carbon footprints on even small scales like swapping out a handful of lightbulbs for some glaring eco-friendly wattage. I also started project work with a small tech company that gives proceeds of its software sales to charity. And if I wanted to stretch the definition of green technology just a tad, any services that optimize automation and the use of technology obviously help minimize paper use.
Last, I continue to work, via Emerge PR, with a mobile/wireless software company that provides over-the-air update technology to handset manufacturers and operators, negating the need for consumers to drive to a Sprint or Verizon retail location to have their phone reflashed and updated. This cool technology also prolongs the life of devices, slimming the amount of hardware to be "land-filled" or recycled.
I'd very much like to evangelize and help grow market share for a solar or wind power technology company with promise - particularly because I can apply both my passion and ability to understand a technology and make it digestible to broader groups. If anyone has a lead, please share.
