I'm an adult considering a change of career. I have no relevant education or experience. I'm at least an hour away from anywhere that could be considered a major city and would not like to move. My only requirements are that I am actively helping our ecosystem thrive and I'm not dirt poor. What's a position I could reasonably obtain?

Retirement communities?

It is not ecosystem but it is community.

They are likely short staffed and will accept help in the kitchen. Possibly on a serving line. If you want to feel like you're helping someone everyday it can be rewarding experience in that aspect.

Kitchen environments are typically cancerous. it is hard work with a considerable amount of stress bonding with coworkers.

If you can perform basic functions and show any initiative they will train you. Be a sponge. be willing to learn and take criticism and you'll fit in almost anywhere back of house.

Even front desk at a retirement place. The people are lonely. Just talking to someone and assisting them can brighten their entire day.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
