Blogposts tagged 'Publications'

It's day two of our spring blog relay and Hannah is revealing our inner office writing hang-ups and the challenges of editing our campaign information. Over the next couple months we'll be asking different Greenpeace staff and volunteers to write for our blog each day so that you can find out a bit more about the many different people, ideas and roles behind our campaigns.

I'm working on a new report that is written in a language known as Academia. As a Greenpeace editor I have to understand many jargon-based languages such as Academia, Environmentalish, Campaignese and translate them into Plain English to maximise readability.

My current assignment is: The case for including energy efficiency investment in the fiscal stimulus package (fiscal 1. of or relating to government revenue, especially taxes, 2. An African shrike with black and white plumage). The report talks about creating jobs and making money multitask, giving examples that prove how energy efficiency programmes have done this before. I was rather pleased that HEES was included as a case study, because a couple of years ago I earned my City & Guilds in energy awareness which focused on Warm Front which was born out of HEES.
