I’ve been trying to get away with thick lined leggings for a bit now and I finally met my match in a batch of barberry today- I’m trying to find field pants that I can just pull on, but still possess durability + pocket storage. Is this a far-fetched ask? If these pants don’t exist, what is my next best bet in terms of comfortability/flexibility?
I want to get into learning about environmental science, mainly physics and sustainability. I don't know where to begin or where to look to. Could anyone help?

Hey everyone! I recently graduated with a B.A. in Environmental Science & Policy, and I'm currently applying for entry-level environmental jobs in Southern California.
I'm mainly applying to positions such as Environmental Field Technician, Environmental Scientist, Environmental Technician, Air Quality Technician, and environmental compliance or consulting roles. I'm open to fieldwork, environmental sampling, monitoring, remediation, and restoration-related work.
I'm trying to make myself a stronger candidate because a lot of entry-level postings mention certifications or training as preferred qualifications. I've looked into HAZWOPER, but dont know if its worth buying or waiting for an employer to pay for it.
For those working in environmental consulting, fieldwork, air quality, remediation, or a related field:
I'm trying to be strategic with my money and focus on qualifications that employers genuinely value, rather than collecting certifications that won't make much difference.
Hey everyone :) I’m doing a foundation year at uni and will go on to do either environmental science or environmental geoscience next year. I’m having a hard time deciding which would be a better fit for me; I’m very interested in studying tectonics, geomorphology and volcanology but I’m also very interested in ecology, conservation and biology. I don’t have a very specific career path in mind yet as I’m just beginning at university and wanted to see what begins to take my interest more over these few years first. Any advice would be appreciated!
So I have been applying to a coal mine for a while now. I just received my 3rd video interview for an environmental performance student position. This is my 4th response from the company, I was rejected after the first 2 video interviews and one of them I was rejected literally the day after I applied.
Could I please get some advise on how to make it past the video interview.
Some questions I remember from the previous video interview were 1. Why would like to work with us, 2. Tell us about yourself and how my skills transfer, 3. Experience working with safety. 4. What’re your strengths and weaknesses

This development plan would not only greatly impact the Williamsburg community but also the surrounding neighborhoods like Hunters Creek and Deer Creek. This would be an absolute disaster for thousands of homes and all the wildlife that depend on those woods for survival. This area is not only a sensitive wetland but also headwaters to the Everglades. Please sign and share to spread awareness. Thank you so much for caring. 🙏
Hi everyone!
I’m conducting a short academic survey about summer thermal comfort and energy challenges in schools, offices, and public buildings, especially in hot climates.
The survey takes about 1–2 minutes, is completely anonymous, and does not collect names or email addresses.
I’m interested in understanding people’s experiences with summer heat, air-conditioning use, and their priorities for future rooftop energy and cooling solutions.
Survey: https://forms.gle/Co9Bn25fVPD2Cf9E9
Thanks a lot for helping! I’ll take your survey too if you leave one in the comments.
When a dust storm turns the sky orange, we usually think about sand and soil. But what else could be traveling in that dust?
Recent research has found microplastics in urban dust and airborne environments, raising a question for the Gulf: could dust storms be helping microplastics travel through the atmosphere?
We don't have the direct measurements needed to answer that yet. I looked at what recent studies can — and cannot — tell us about this possible pathway.
