Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take environmental science courses in high school. Go to college for at least a 4-year degree in environmental science. Take writing classes while you are in school. Master basic computer skills. Get involved with an internship or non-profit organization. Submit applications for environmentalist jobs.

Answer: Any science courses you are able to take can help prepare you for work as an environmentalist. Ecology classes are the most useful ones to take since they cover how living creatures interact with their environment. Other science courses, such as biology and chemistry, also come in handy. Remember that most environmentalists have a well-rounded education covering many different subjects. Even if the classes available to you aren't what you want to do, they may come in handy later. A good university environmental science program teaches you even more about how the world works. It combines different fields an environmentalist needs to know, from natural sciences like biology to Earth sciences like geography. Earning your degree prepares you for entry-level jobs in environmentalist-related fields. Because environmentalists serve in a variety of roles, an environmental science degree isn't your only option. Economics, political science, and even engineering can help you become an environmentalist. You can also earn a master's degree to gain more credentials. Try studying public policy, environmental planning, or other fields related to the kind of work you want to do. Many environmentalists benefit from having a solid foundation of writing skills. You should learn how to write cohesive, grammatically-correct reports. Environmentalists often write reports on their work, draft laws for new environmental policies, or create funding proposals. In addition, an environmentalist needs to know how to tailor these writing assignments to their intended audience. Language classes are a good way to get a basis in writing. Business classes may also help you learn how to draft professional proposals. Science classes may cover the need to write reports. Take these seriously, since a lot of people depend on work reports from professional environmentalists. Taking a few computer classes can also round out your education. You will most likely need to use a computer to write reports and perform research. This means getting comfortable with word processor documents, spreadsheets, emails, and search engines. Classes covering information systems tend to be very useful in this line of work. Some environmentalists may use data software to for science and for compiling reports. Others may work out in the field using scientific equipment. Joining these programs will get you some experience. The best time to start volunteering is now! High school students can find opportunities with the local chapters of environmentalist groups, animal welfare groups, and other organizations. University students should contact their school's environmental science department for internship opportunities. For example, you can join the Sierra Club, National Resource Defense Council, or work with animal sanctuaries. Think about what you can do in your community. Even helping out with local cleanup committees or animal protective programs makes a difference. Environmentalist is a large field, so there are many different jobs you can apply for. Take some time to consider your field or study and interests, then start looking for employers. Many government labs hire environmentalists for research purposes. Private labs also do this, while consulting firms need environmentalists to instruct others on greener living. Avoid overlooking related fields. For instance, food scientists can provide research for sustainable agriculture. Lobbyists speak with politicians about environmental laws. Many jobs, from meteorologists to marine biologists, can double as environmentalists.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick a pen. Get your duct tape and other supplies.

Answer: This pen is going to act as your stem, so look for a pen that doesn't have a clicker on the top or on the side. You want the stem to be smooth and clean. Think about what color you'd like your flower to be when selecting the duct tape. Red, white, and pink are good colors, especially if you want the flower to look like a rose. You will also need a pair of scissors, or a small cutting knife, and a cutting board or a surface where you can cut the duct tape. Have one to two rolls of duct tape in different colors if you'd like to make a multicolored tape flower pen. Get a small roll of green duct tape for the "stem" and the "leaves" of the flower pen.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go to popular communal spaces frequently to meet locals. Leverage your existing networks to find people who live near you. Join local groups or classes to meet people with common interests. Use the Internet and apps to meet interesting locals. Volunteer in the local community to meet fellow community-oriented people.

Answer: Identify popular local spots that align with your interests. Become a regular at those spots to meet other locals who share your interests that you could befriend. For example, find a local coffee shop to go sit at and get some work done on your laptop and strike up a conversation with someone. Find a park with basketball courts if you enjoy playing basketball and join a pickup match. Say you are sitting reading at a coffee shop and spot someone reading a book you have read or heard of, this is a perfect opportunity to spark up a conversation by asking a question or commenting on what they are reading! Take advantage of all your social networks to find mutual friends who live near your new neighborhood. Ask around to see if any of your friends or acquaintances know people in the area you are moving to and can put you in touch. It's a great ice breaker when you already have a mutual connection with someone who lives in your new area. If you can't think of anyone off the top of your head that might have a connection in your area, you can just post a question on your social media and ask. You might be surprised! Ask around or search on social media for local groups that revolve around an interest you have. Sign up for a class to share time doing an activity you love with other locals who do too. For example, if you play a sport, find a local league in your new area. You could also sign up for a class at a local gym if you are into fitness. Search on Facebook for groups you can join relating to a hobby you have. For example, if you like to play board games, there is most certainly some sort of local board game meetup group on Facebook that you can join! There are lots of apps and sites that help locals meet each other based around shared interests. Don't be afraid to use these resources to help you make friends after a move. For instance, https://www.meetup.com/ is a very popular site that helps you find local groups and people who are doing certain activities to meet up with. There really is an app for everything these days. You can download apps that specifically help you find local workout buddies, join supper clubs, find a date if you're single, and pretty much anything else you can think of! Find a local organization that offers volunteer positions relating to a cause you support. Try and lend a helping hand whenever you can to meet other people who support the same cause. For instance, if you are an avid gardener, you could look for a community garden to volunteer at to meet other like-minded individuals.
