Hi, PSR is hiring a Climate Organizer. This person will help us build our “Climate Health Action Teams,” a new program through which our members learn about renewable energy and energy efficiency – including their benefits to health – and take monthly actions to push their states to choose clean renewables and energy efficiency as the way to reduce carbon emissions under the Clean Power Plan. We’re looking for an energetic organizer with hands-on experience who can use communication tools (phone, email, skype, webinars…) to engage and motivate our members. Knowledge of climate change, health and/or energy issues is a must. See the attached job announcement for more details. If you could share this job description with appropriate organizations and potential candidates, I’d much appreciate it.
