DENVER

Job Description: Work to make sure everyone has clean air to breathe. We are hiring for citizen outreach and field manager positions working on issues like stopping plastic pollution, advocating for renewable energy, and holding corporations accountable for their pollution and waste.In our Denver office, we’re working with CoPIRG (the Colorado Public Interest Research Group) to keep our air clean by tackling ozone pollution. In recent summers, we have had a record number of ozone dirty air days and this dangerous pollution damages our lungs and can cause asthma. Since oil and gas emissions are a leading contributor to ozone pollution, we need to cut pollution from them to have clean air. State clean air regulators are currently considering rules that would do just that. However, the oil and gas industry is working to undermine efforts to tackle ozone pollution, but with enough grassroots support we can overcome their opposition and reduce pollution from oil and gas operations.
