We all know that professional networking can be critical. If you want to network with other ISSP members and/or other professionals online, here are the best places I’ve found. If you have found other places useful, please feel free to add to this post. Hope this helps!

LinkedIn is a probably the most popular place online to network with professionals in the general business community. NetImpact is geared more towards people who “use business to improve the world.” GenGreen is relatively new, but growing quickly.

Lots of people ask me for informational interviews. Sometimes they seem to think they need to become someone else, to go back to school, to be of value in the sustainability community.

In my experience, though, the field is still so new and the degree programs in sustainability so scarce, that most people can parlay their interest in sustainability in a host of different ways.

So answer these questions:

--What do you love to do that you're also good at?
--What type of work environment is best for you (e.g., individual consulting firm, large company, etc.)?
