This week, an engineering firm reinvents the built world for sustainability, a startup accelerator advances entrepreneurship worldwide, and a cookie dough manufacturer leaves a delicious local impact.

It seems like sustainability is on everyone's lips these days, and for good reason. It turns out that a huge chunk of our greenhouse gas output comes from power generation, and that means we need to think about who, or what, those consumers are. Buildings are a big one!

In this issue, we're featuring a company whose work in sustainability engineering is helping leave a positive impact on the environment. If you like modern architecture, you should definitely check out their website for some great photography (and maybe find a project to visit in your town).

Here are this week's social impact job opportunities:
