More and more graduates say they want to work for companies with a commitment to the environment. They are therefore exploring the possibilities of a green career by getting jobs that didn’t even exist a few years ago. The results of several surveys on this issue are reported.

1. What are the advantages of working for an environmentally-friendly company? Are there any disadvantages? Explain.

2. Consider the following statement: “All this publicity about graduates looking for jobs at environmentally-friendly companies is overblown. Graduates want to look like they are marketable in a tough job market, and since being green is the thing to do, many graduates are saying they want to work for environmentally-friendly companies, even though they don’t really care that much about the environment.” Do you agree or disagree with the statement. Explain your reasoning.
