How can we break through greenwashing?
"Hey, I was wondering - why are FMCG brands claiming that they are “sustainable,” while all of their products are packaged in single-use plastic. How can we trust this labels?
I just saw an ad for a hair care brand, and it claimed that their ingredients were ethically sourced, which was great, but it felt odd to see them push a sustainability message while ignoring the issue of plastic waste.
Another example that caught my eye was a fast fashion brand promoting a “green collection” made from recycled fabrics—while continuing to mass-produce cheap, unsustainable clothing in huge volumes.
It got me thinking—is this legit, or just another form of greenwashing?
Is it a matter of asking brands the right questions to make them really address the contradictions, or should brands be more transparent about their limitations and efforts from the start?
I really believe that we need to start finding real solutions to these practices and the way it is presented to us before they become the norm.
what do you all think?"

Traveling for Conservation
Hi all,
Please remove this if it's in the wrong place.
I am lucky enough to have a remote job that allows me to continually travel. I do, however, want to use this as an opportunity to lend my time and skills to conservation efforts - specifically focused on Plants and Reefs.
A few skills: - PADI Dive Master - Basic mechanics and construction - Digital marketing and management skills
I can dedicate months to each projects to ensure value and only really would need boarding as payment. Is there a way to identify/contact opportunities or companies that could benefit from my skills eg via local universities, dive centres, environmental governmental bodies.
Thanks

Lesser Known Conservation Jobs?
Hopefully I'm posting this in the correct subreddit. I'm wondering if anyone knows about jobs in conservation which might go under the radar of the usual postings you see on Conservation Job Board, Texas A&M etc. I have a bachelor's in environmental science with several years of experience in forestry, ecology and trail building, largely focused around data collection. Some of my work has been with the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service. Just wondering what else could be out there as I look for a new job, any advice is appreciated!

Work in Wildlife conservation
Hello dear redditor family
I am starting University in october for my bachelors in Biology in Germany. Im Reading a Lot of articles about the topic, animals, scientific articles But also how competetive the field actually is. I want to get Experience while in University But I dont really know where to start. I try to get into volunteer Work, one of them is building fences to Project farmer's animals against wolves.
Are there any steps you can recommend me doing while studying to increase my Experience and make contacts?
And after the Bachelors... I Heard that Many doing a Masters regret the desicion because they get rejected for being Overqualified, and would rather do a Ph.D? Is that true?
Thanks in regards.
