The article has some data, but IMHO it's a bit too sparse to support the title's hypothesis. It says "33% of survey respondents say they participate in sustainability activities “daily” and 27% report weekly sustainability practices." referring to a survey[0], but this survey doesn't appear to specify what exactly these practices are. From looking at the questions, I'm lead to believe that even merely using a recycling bin qualifies. It then goes on to say that the director of the Environmental Studies program at USC has seen "an uptick in student enrollment within her department, particularly over the last five to 10 years". It'd be interesting to see what enrollment looks like in other departments for comparison since an uptick due to, say, population growth is a non-story (and it's also worth noting that USC is just one university, and in California - a very liberal-leaning state, to boot) The one piece of data that seems encouraging is the part about median salaries (they're reportedly above average), but at best that merely supports the idea that environment jobs are no longer gambles as they had a reputation of being in the past. This is good, but it's a pretty big stretch to go from that to "students are flocking to environment jobs".
