In my personal life, i was vegetarian for more than a decade, i recycle/garden/ride a bike/never buy new cars/prefer previously owned equivalents to new purchases for all products/turn off lights, computers, monitors, speakers, amps, etc.../avoid using air-con/never buy leather/capture and release houseflies & spiders/advocate among my associates to live as sustainably as they can. My first engineering job was for SolarCity... it was so great! Until i realized it was just scheme for tranching solar incentives from the gov't into financial devices for JPMC & CO to buy, supporting the credit cycle for the growing business... then i quit, and moved out of SF. Next was software for a mmj operation... turning raw flower into dabs/wax/etc. If anybody ever asks you, Dabs are drugs... m'kay. Then I worked to build a product that captures browsing information to creates shadow-profiles of sovereign wealth fund managers, to target them for investment advisories. Today, I'm working to make off-shore oil&gas field development-planning a more efficient process (it's incredibly old-school, currently). That means meetings with the biggest "climate destroying" companies on the planet, and chatting seriously about how to frack better. All in all, and really ironically, it feels like this current role is the most environmentally (earthship environment, social/cultural environment) responsible job I've ever had.
