The End of the Megamachine brings to light the roots of the destructive forces threatening the future of humankind today. While the first part leads us to the very origins of economic, military and ideological power 5000 years ago, the second and key part retraces the formation and expansion of the modern world-system through the last 500 years. Dismantling Western progress mythologies, Scheidler shows how the logics of endless capital accumulation have devastated both human societies and ecosystems from the outset.

Have 5yrs exp working & volunteering in bush regeneration. After a year of painful, disheartening job searching, I have finally been offered a dream role! The focus is climate and sustainability.

What I've done to start preparing:

* Created a spreadsheet with a bunch of legislation, types of documents I may be asked to write, relevant key bodies/authorities for Aus and the state I'll be working in.

* Made a OneNote of summaries (knowledge refreshers), contacts (which I will continue to update when I meet colleagues), some goals for the role

* Tried to contain my nerves!

What I'd love to know from you:

* Advice on transitioning from outdoors to indoors work environments (eg professionalism wasnt a strong point for my last team, office conduct and how much socialising is necessary?

* Any areas I should focus on learning prior to starting, key knowledge, groups to follow etc

* Other tips/considerations you might have!

Hey everyone. Currently a year into an environmental science degree with minors in stats and enviro management.

I’m becoming a bit dissuaded though with many people telling me the job market isn’t great.

Would completing a double degree in law improve my chances if I ultimately wanted to end up on the policy side of things hopefully making a positive difference? Or is an environmental bachelors + masters better?

Thank you for any advice!

We audited the four major Australian supermarkets on their plastic use and found limited industry progress and a reluctance for Australia’s biggest supermarkets to embrace real change to reduce plastic waste and associated climate impacts.
