Planet & Science
Explorers who use science to understand the world and protect people, communities, and the environment as we produce energy.
If this sounds like you:
You’re into lab goggles, maps, and tracking what’s really happening in the air, water, and grid.
Picture this:
You’re mapping solar potential with drones, monitoring plant emissions, or testing water quality at a power station.
Where to start exploring:
- Join an environmental or ecology club.
- Do a school or community “Air Quality” or “Noise Mapping” project.
- Try Citizen Science Programs (NASA GLOBE, iNaturalist, Zooniverse).
- Join a gardening, composting, or urban farming group.
- Take an environmental science class, then add the EIF 2.0 program to see how energy careers protect the planet and keep systems safe.
- Volunteer or contract with a local organization to collect, analyze, or report environmental or energy-use data.
