It doesn't matter if you're an employee or an intern. It doesn't matter if you work for an agency, organize events, or work for a company that produces physical goods. Every job where you make decisions or are part of meetings where decisions are made gives you power in some way. 

What we do for a living impacts the world, and in this world, nothing is neutral.

So, how can you ensure that whatever outcome you contribute to is more sustainable? 

Dare to ask: 

"Do we use renewable energy already?" 

"Can we reduce the amount of packaging we use?"

"How could we reduce our carbon footprint?" 

You might be the first person that says these things out loud. But you most certainly will not be the first one at the table to think about these matters – and only if you open your mouth will you find like-minded people who want to do better. Eventually, people will be grateful you spoke up. 

So let us tell you – you've got this! You're not alone!
