We Make Change

Turning climate helplessness into ambition 🌎 Meet Max Kennan Founder of biodGRADable, a student-led initiative re-writing the climate narrative to turn helplessness into ambition. 👋 🇦🇺 What do you do? "I am on a mission to funnel emerging talent towards sustainable careers. Climate change is a solvable issue that requires a wide array of solutions yet many students don’t understand how they can have an impact. biodGRADable.com is an impact-focused career platform that helps students explore the sustainability sector." 🇦🇺 Why did you start? "I started the platform after studying climate change at university. My cohort felt that there was little focus on solutions education, leaving many of us feeling helpless and pessimistic about the future of our planet." 🇦🇺 How do you make change? "We address feelings of helplessness that block pro-environmental action by helping students discover pathways to a sustainable future. By providing students with meaningful paths forward, we encourage them to use their educational background to create a positive impact with their career." 🇦🇺 Finally, why should people volunteer for your startup? "Join our project to shape a sustainable future for everyone. Your involvement places future change-makers in companies that are building the world you want to live in."
