If you can save the Earth by doing what you love

Description
Book Introduction
I don't want to be a harm to the Earth, so what job should I have?
Career Interview Collection for Teenagers Living in the Climate Crisis
When thinking about a career path, I often wonder what I like and am good at, and how long I can do it.
However, in this era of essential environment, one more important concern remains.
The sustainability of the Earth's environment, the foundation that allows us to work, breathe, and live.
That doesn't mean everyone can become a climate activist.
Is there a way to work ethically and ecologically while still making the most of one's talents?
"If You Could Save the Earth by Doing What You Love" is a book that interviews professionals from various fields, including architects, developers, fashion designers, journalists, and lawyers, who are working to solve the climate crisis.
They devise and implement ways to combat the climate crisis through IT technology, law, design, fresh ideas, and execution capabilities.
Kim Joo-won, a former co-chairman of the Green Party and a researcher and activist on the climate crisis, basic income, and green politics, listened carefully to and recorded their new attempts and unique values.
Additionally, based on the optimism and hope of 'moving forward despite all', the interviewees' work and lives are highlighted and introduced in a way that broadens the scope of empathy.
All human activities, including producing, transporting, selling, and consuming, inevitably impact the Earth's environment.
But rather than giving up on being completely harmless, we can bring about meaningful change by making 'small differences' and continuing to do so.
These interviewees are all people who have forged new paths that are different from what we have now.
Let's look at the stories of those who work with innovative ideas and a sincere attitude to find clues on what kind of direction to pursue in life and how to incorporate my values into my work.

Into the book
Architecture doesn't exist as some cool reference far away.
The space we use every day has endless possibilities for being made different.
So, if there is no interest in the users of the space, architecture will be no fun.
Fundamentally, architecture is the art of creating intangible things with tangible materials.
Because you have to imagine the events and life that will unfold there.
--- From "The Architect Who Builds Land Instead of Buildings"
Reducing desires isn't about forcing yourself to cut back on things you don't want to, but rather about reflecting on where you should place the foundation and joy of your life.
I'm thinking about whether I'm only happy when I consume in a commercial space, or if I'm just happy when I read a book and enjoy nature at home.
I think that if I find joy in my own limitations and with my own sensory organs, and find a more beautiful way to do it, I will naturally consume and destroy less.
--- From "The Ice Cream Shop Owner Who Asks About the Taste of Time"
When the AI era truly begins, many things will change.
But even if such a change were to occur, you would have to go there and see for yourself to know what kind of expression that person has, what the space smells like, and what the weather is like.
If you have that kind of curiosity and inquisitiveness, or if you want to ask questions about the world in a slightly better way, you might want to try being a journalist.
--- From "Reporting a pleasant future when imagined"
Previously, I had no place to share my concerns about animal rights or the environment.
Thinking back now, I feel like I was very lonely back then.
I often thought about whether I was a strange person.
But I created a space where people like me can come.
My heart was filled and comforted.
I experienced moments every day that were so moving that I couldn't have asked for more, and I felt gratitude and hope.

Publisher's Review
Finding the intersection between the Earth's sustainability and my own sustainability
- Stories about work and life from eight professionals dedicated to addressing the climate crisis.
Concerns about the climate crisis and work aren't just for young people exploring career paths.
Even professionals who have already entered society and are working are now faced with the situation of having to consider 'sustainability'.
We must not only respond to the international community's ESG demands, but also communicate and interact with citizens who are increasingly sensitive to environmental issues.
Where are those who are most agile in responding to these changes and bringing about change, and what are they doing?
The interviewees for "If You Can Save the Earth by Doing What You Love" are experts working in various fields, from the humanities to science and engineering to the arts.
Jaewon Jo, the director of Gongil Studio, who designed the shared office space Cow & Dog in Seongsu-dong, raises fundamental questions about the role of architects in the era of climate crisis, including concerns about the safety of vulnerable people such as the homeless, animals, and children.
Lee Ok-seon, who worked as a designer at a famous fashion company, became aware of the problems of overproduction, waste, and labor rights in the fashion industry and created the sustainable fashion brand Open Plan, which presents plastic-free clothing.
Kim Jong-gyu, CEO of social venture Sixty Hertz, developed a service that connects renewable energy power plants across the country and allows users to see their production volume at a glance.
He is also an entrepreneur who is leading the growth of climate tech companies, starting with this service.
Farmers Nam Gyeong-suk and Lee Yeon-jin of Pulpul Farm, who make their own beer and farm using natural farming methods with the idea of challenging the existing system; planner Kang Gyeong-min who creates and operates a community connecting those who pursue an ecological lifestyle; and ice cream shop owner Park Jeong-su who encourages people to plant trees for a pleasant life where they can continue to enjoy healthy sweetness, are all people who weave their work and lives with their own unique colors.
Reporter Kim Da-eun, who meticulously reports on the vividness of the field and strives to convey a positive future to citizens, and environmental lawyer Park Ji-hye, who has served as a defense attorney at various sites, including the Samcheok coal-fired power plant, are two individuals who wholeheartedly accompany those who are creating change on the front lines.
This book offers a diverse picture of the future of professionals in this new era, and will serve as a first step toward considering how you can contribute to the movement to address the climate crisis.
The power to envision a better future concretely
- Young people who are worried about their career path, as well as young people who want to make a difference in the workplace.
A book for teachers and parents who wish to promote ecological transition career education.
There is a word that appears unusually frequently in the book.
It is 'imagination'.
The interviewee asks the interviewee if they have imagined it and encourages them to imagine it.
To work for the Earth, for myself, and for everyone else, we need to find new paths through multidisciplinary and cross-cutting thinking.
We live in a time when we need a perspective that transcends the boundaries of occupation or career.
These interviewees, who are boldly and innovatively bringing about change, are in themselves excellent references for such imagination and exploration.
Additionally, at the end of each chapter, the interviewer provides career exploration content recommended by the interviewee, leading to continued consideration by youth, teachers, and caregivers.
Books and movies that have influenced your values and the way you conduct your work, as well as websites that provide more detailed information about your field, will help you proactively find your path and solidify your own world.
The interviewees of “If You Can Save the Earth by Doing What You Love” all agree.
There is no right answer, so meet many people and have many different experiences.
Kim Joo-won, who led the interview, also said, “Believe in your own potential, and, by referring to the people introduced in this book, happily walk the countless paths not listed here.”
It's now up to readers to make the world of work and the Earth's ecosystem vibrant.
