Mocatalk+FollowFirst GIS Job—What’s Next for My Career?🌍💻I’ve just started my first GIS job in the energy sector as an entry-level contractor after earning my bachelor’s in geography. While I’m thrilled to break into the field, I can’t help but think ahead to what comes next when this contract ends. I’m not chasing a high salary, but I want a role that’s meaningful and engaging—something more impactful than my current position. I’m considering pivoting to fields like sustainability (urban planning?), non-profits/NGOs, disaster management, or renewable energy (since I’m already in energy). My current job also involves CAD, so maybe engineering could be an option? Should I go back for a master’s degree to boost my chances? The cost is daunting, though. Could I transition into these industries based on experience alone? I’d love to pursue further education, but the price tag is holding me back. What are your thoughts? How did you navigate your GIS career path? #GISCareer #Sustainability #NonProfitWork #DisasterManagement #RenewableEnergy #CareerGrowth #GISJobs61Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowHumidity Hack Could Clean Our AirScientists just found a wild new way to fight climate change—using humidity! Northwestern University researchers discovered that common, cheap materials (even stuff made from waste) can trap and release carbon pollution just by playing with the air’s moisture. It’s like letting nature do the heavy lifting, and it could make carbon capture way more affordable and widespread. Bonus: it helps cut down on trash, too. Imagine cleaning the air and reducing waste at the same time! This could be a total game-changer for fighting pollution. #ClimateInnovation #Sustainability #ScienceWin #CarbonCapture #EcoFriendly #Science21Share
Vincent Perry+FollowYou Can Now Track Solar & Wind Growth Live!Ever wondered how much solar and wind power is actually out there? Now you can check for yourself! A new online atlas lets anyone see where clean energy is popping up around the world—think Google Maps, but for solar panels and wind turbines. The coolest part? Solar land use has tripled since 2017, and wind turbines have doubled! This tool is perfect for anyone curious about how fast we're ditching fossil fuels and going green, whether you're planning a move or just want to brag about your city’s eco-cred. #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Renewables #LifeHacks #EcoFriendly #Business10Share
Jennifer Reyes+FollowDid That Oil Ad Just Fool Us?Heads up: a major oil company just got called out for hyping its green energy creds while quietly making most of its money from old-school fossil fuels. The ad made it look like they were all about wind power, but left out the fact that oil and gas are still their bread and butter. Regulators said, "Nope, that's misleading." Moral of the story? If a company’s ad sounds too eco-friendly, check the fine print before you buy in! #Greenwashing #ConsumerTips #EcoFriendly #MoneyHacks #Sustainability #Business00Share
robertocarter+FollowCoke’s New Soda Hack: Making Its Own NitrogenHere’s a fizzy update: Coca-Cola’s biggest UK factory is now making its own nitrogen instead of trucking it in. Why should you care? Fewer delivery trucks means less pollution and, hopefully, cheaper sodas down the line. Some locals worry about the new tanks being ugly or noisy, but the move keeps things greener and could inspire other brands to cut waste too. Small step, but every sip counts! #CocaCola #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #MoneyHacks #FoodNews #Business00Share
fnixon+FollowMicrosoft's Data Centers Go Water-Free?!Microsoft just dropped a major eco-move: their new data centers won't need water to stay cool. Why does this matter? Typical data centers guzzle as much water as 1,000 homes a day! By ditching water cooling, Microsoft is helping save millions of gallons, which means more clean water for everyone (and maybe even more dolphin sightings in city rivers). If big tech can make this shift, maybe it's time to check if your favorite brands are walking the green talk too! #Microsoft #EcoFriendly #WaterConservation #TechNews #Sustainability #Business20Share
Kim Reeves+FollowMicrosoft’s $760M Bet: Can Money Clean the Air?So, Microsoft just dropped $760 million on a 12-year deal to clean up its carbon mess—think of it like buying a massive air filter for the planet. They’re paying to trap and bury carbon from a paper mill, hoping to balance out the pollution from all those new data centers. Cool move, but critics say it’s a pricey band-aid, not a cure. Would you pay extra for products from companies trying to go green? #Microsoft #CarbonNeutral #ClimateAction #Sustainability #MoneyHacks #Business50Share
Danial victory+FollowWrexham’s Jet Trip Sparks Green DebateDid anyone else catch the heat Wrexham AFC—aka the Red Dragons—are getting for that 37-minute private jet ride? With Hollywood owners like Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, you’d think they’d be more eco-conscious, especially after pledging support for UN climate goals. Critics say the short flight was unnecessary and sent the wrong message, especially since most of the trip was still by road. Should teams ditch the jets for greener travel, or is this just part of the modern game? #WrexhamAFC #RyanReynolds #FootballDebate #Sustainability #FanForum40Share
Brittany Phillips+FollowAre Ultra-Bright Displays the Future?Imagine a phone screen you can read perfectly in direct sunlight—thanks to perovskite LEDs, that might soon be reality. These new materials shine a thousand times brighter than what we use now, and they're cheaper to make. But here's the catch: their lifespan is still short, and there are questions about environmental impact. Would you trade longevity for next-level brightness and color? Or should we wait until the tech matures? Let’s debate! #TechDebate #DisplayTech #Innovation #Sustainability #FutureOfScreens #Tech00Share
