What jobs have the greatest impact on the prevention and remediation of environmental problems?

Cleaning up oil spills within several weeks!!! http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/paul_s鈥?/a> (But do be careful with this website - I think they are funded by elitists)


(Stamets' work includes mushroom-based anti-viral drugs)





Other similar businesses are using mycelia to make biodegradable food containers instead of using styrofoam; as well as making fireproof (or very fire-resistant) insulation.





Edit: Building houses with straw bales, or stones, or sacks of dirt.


Growing hemp for fuel, medicines, etc. etc. etc. etc.


Being a farmer and selling to locals so they don't have to buy food that's been shipped needlessly around the world.


Being a bike courier or rickshaw driver.|||This is the best question. The answer is: No jobs. Crazy, huh. If you have a job, you don't have any time to do all your living. You have to pay other people that sit at the head of the table in a huge corporation where nothing but money and power matter, ultimately, to feed you, clothe you, entertain you, employ you, provide you a vehicle, a television, tickets to the Knicks, an ipod touch.... it never stops once you start feeding it. But if you don't have a job, finally you get to eat all the fresh healthy organic vegetables you figured out how to grow, the milk you squeezed out of your goat doesn't have any antibiotics or hormones to make your daughters bud early and act real crazy sneaking out of the house on weekends (or worse), the old chevy with parts that a grown human can actually fit their hands around only burns gasoline a little bit here and there when it's really necessary so you aren't worried at all since you are nenewing WAY more carbon around this place than you are losing up into the atmosphere where it does God knows what, and you have an appreciation for the land around you, which means you won't be so quick to dump battery acid in the creek or beer can plastic rings onto the necks of critters.
