&lt;p&gt;Verizon&#39;s Sustainability Manager Amy Thompson talks about her role (a newly created position) as well as how she became interested in sustainability in an in-depth interview, courtesy, GreenJobSpider.com&amp;mdash;a green job search engine. Her advice, both practical and relevant, is spot on, especially for those starting new jobs in sustainability or looking to introduce sustainability in their company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Put your passion in the practice. If you can, get involved immediately. For example, I volunteer building, planting and harvesting of community vegetable gardens. I suggest that each person find an area that interests them and become a part of that solution because they never know where it might lead. I have also found that many communities offer free green events where they can network with like-minded individuals and companies. Take part and be prepared to perceive the opportunities coming their way. Lastly, don&#39;t be afraid to push the envelope. Package up your ideas and share them. You might just get what you ask for like I did.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the complete interview, also available as a podcast, visit GreenJobSpider. Also see a comprehensive description of the role of a Sustainability Manager.&lt;/p&gt;
