Description
Plastic bags are littering the environment and accumulating more and more every day. Once they become litter, they find their way into our landfills, waterways, parks, beaches, and streets, harming animals and polluting our environment. To make matters worse, plastic can take hundreds of years to decompose – if ever.
Our client has developed a fully biodegradable plastic trash bag. This bag is just as strong as regular plastic bags, and is priced the same as regular plastic bags. Consumers are ready for this bag, and the retailers are ready to carry it. But here’s the problem: a lobby group for the chemical company that sees this product as a competitor has pushed through a piece of legislation that makes it impossible to put our bags on the shelves. We think this is outrageous. If more people and policy makers knew the truth, there would be changes and this much needed biodegradable plastic bag wouldmake it into the hands of the public.
Position Overview:
We’re in search of a well-versed environmental activist/lobbyist, to spread the word and affect the public’s knowledge of this situation, and eventually affect policy change. We’re looking for someone to bring smart, creative strategies & tactics, as well as excellent persuasive communication skills that will promote awareness and change. This can be a part-time or full-time position.
To Apply:
Please send your resume, with an overview of your background, an explanation of why you’d be a prime candidate for this position & how you might go about approaching this challenge.
Thanks for your interest!
