Beneficial for both employers and job seekers, job boards are a place where companies can post their open positions within a field and prospective employees can post their information and resume to attract an employer’s attention. Often, different job boards have different specialties, but there are several job boards across the web focused specifically on careers in sustainability.

Tallahassee houses a hidden gem of both nature and history in the Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park. During the summer months, outside of the primary blooming season, the gardens and surrounding park can be accessed for $6 a vehicle. Even outside of peak blooming, Maclay Gardens offers an impressive walled garden featuring brick walkways (with various accessibility aids available at the Ranger Station to make the gardens a relaxing spot for all guests), a secret garden, a reflection pool, and an expansive variety of flowers and trees.

The internet is full of fantastic resources to learn more and stay up-to-date on the world of sustainability. Most of us generally don’t have the time or desire to read through dense scientific articles and papers to find out what’s going on. This is where blogs come in! Designed to be easy, short, and engaging reads, blogs help keep the sustainability conversation accessible to everyone. Here at Sustainable Campus, one of our main goals is to make sustainability easily accessible and available to the Florida State University community.
