Globally, the number of green jobs has grown by eight percent per year in the past five years. While the World Economic Forum predicts the global green economy will create more than 10.3 million new jobs by 2030, meaning that green career opportunities are only likely to increase.
As the green economy is still in its infancy, this transition from ‘business-as-usual’ to a new sustainable economy is opening up many new opportunities. This will continue for years as new clean technologies, policies, and standards are adopted.
Making sense of this new, low-carbon economy can take time and effort. So, this book is here to help you to understand the different options and pathways for finding your dream green career.

Poetry Books
The Shout
By Celia Ann Merrill
The art of linguistic mischief has helped Celia through a wealth of written work. Her inner wordsmith was energised on relocation to Appledore from a landlocked Shire. A former healthcare professional, with detours into Education and Administration, Celia is now writing for fun.
Challenged by an impassioned Yacht Master to write a poem as an objection to an offshore wind farm application, A Wind Up subsequently entertained the councillors at the Bideford Town Planning meeting. With the publication of Potholes, Celia was invited to join the poets in the light verse webzine Lighten Up Online. Charities and other organisations have used her verse; her poems have been published in several anthologies and the press, resulting in a tongue-in- cheek invitation to march on 10 Downing Street in support of the Poets’ Defence League. The Shout was long listed for the Plough Prize.
This collection of poems illustrates and celebrates the sights, sounds, emotions and experiences that have been enjoyed in this inspiring and beautiful environment.
“Richly evocative of time and place, Samhain on Dartmoor transports the reader straight to an intense autumn day on the moor. This poem makes me fall in love (again) with Dartmoor, and autumn.”
Keeping My Eyes On The Light
By Diana Carchedi
Diana was born in Italy to Italian parents and moved to England with them and her elder sister when she was just fifteen months old.
From a very early age she fell in love with books and became an avid reader. It seemed a natural progression to start writing, keeping a journal for most of her growing years and writing pieces of fiction and poetry. It became her fiercely guarded secret and passion.
Diana was a shy, introverted child dealing with all the normal trials of growing up plus a few extra ones as an Italian child from a working-class background thrown into a catholic convent with the rich and privileged. Writing became a cathartic tool for managing life’s difficulties and fears and for expressing herself.
This collection of poems is a fulfilment of a promise Diana made to her dad. He used to ask her why she hadn’t submitted any of her work for publication.
Writing poetry takes courage as your heart, soul and innermost feelings are laid bare on the page for all to read and interpret.
Diana spent many years working with vulnerable and disadvantaged youngsters, and always encouraged them to keep a journal as a strategy for de-escalating their anger and frustration within themselves, and also as a way to process things and empower themselves. In the increasingly stressful world we live in, Diana would love to encourage everyone to pick up a pen or a keyboard and fill a page or book with their thoughts and feelings. The comfort and release they will experience will be therapeutic and uplifting.
“I hope my poetry resonates with everyone who reads it and comforts and lifts.”
Diana Carchedi

The city of Fenwood has thrived under the rule of its beloved Queen, but each day she grows weaker with age and sickness and seemingly no-one can save her. Her daughter, Ivy, has always shied away from her responsibilities and now appears unaware of her duty, turning instead to the pull of the natural world outside of the city boundaries and a growing romance after a chance encounter. As evil, corruptive forces manoeuvre their way into the city, Ivy must choose between love and responsibility, as death and destruction threaten to tear Fenwood apart.
An enigmatic and gifted outsider arrives in the peaceful city of Fenwood. Trying to escape the troubles of her past, she soon attracts the attention of the Queen and a matriarchal wolf, both of whom are drawn to the energy of the mysterious woman.
As the lives of the three powerful characters entwine, they are plunged into the repercussions of fierce motherhood, strained loyalty and the fateful chaos of nature.
This is the second novel from author Richard Collis, and a captivating prequel to The Pool. Immerse yourself in the daily life of Fenwood as characters are brought to life and have to face the consequences of their actions.
