Volunteer Internship Opportunities for the finite planet:

If you feel that economics and sustainability unnecessarily clash, let’s talk!

Please distribute this flier.

Objective: Make the best use of the intern’s aptitudes to activate Campaign for Sustainable Economics.

Projects under consideration are:

- employment and education of youths that is pertinent to ecological economics,

perhaps some environmental restoration,

- creation of an ecovillage to engage people in sustainability,

- communications in promotion of sustainability,

- experiences to enhance appreciation for ecosystem services,

- alliance building, and

- integration of ecological economics into curriculums.

Possible roles: Intern’s roles will be negotiated with the director. Options for tasks include artwork, fundraising, research, writing, creation of curriculum, teaching, economic analysis, creation or editing of a website, event planning, networking, marketing, building and urban design, construction, and making videos. Integration with studies is possible. Hours are negotiable.

Some desirable qualities: sees the big picture, is resourceful and creative, and works collaboratively and independently.

CaSE’s mission is to facilitate a tipping point to ecological economics.

From the perspective of ecological economics economic growth exceeds the Earth’s carrying capacity. This excess means that the developed world must improve without growth, at a scale that allows the Earth to sustain future generations into the indefinite future. With this balance humanity would be integrated with the Earth, instead of working against our support system.
